The best preserved Roman baths from Antiquity! Follow Darius for exclusive access to the Suburban Baths of Herculaneum, along the Bay of Naples.

Destroyed by the eruption of the volcano Vesuvius in 79 CE, the city was miraculously preserved under meters of hot mud and ash flows. These baths are truly extraordinary, originally with a view of the sea. Enter and walk through the spaces of the baths, imagining that you are an ancient Roman bather. What did you do? How did the baths work?

Join Darius for an indepth look at Roman bathing culture in baths that still preserve marble panels, stucco, frescoes and lots of carbonized wood! On the occasion of the Malibu Getty exhibit "Buried by Vesuvius: Treasures from the Villa dei Papiri", Darius created this video (also on his Facebook page Darius Arya Digs) through permission from the Parco Archeologico di Ercolano. Put Herculaneum on your itinerary for future visits to Italy. It provides an intimate feel of an ancient Roman city, whose preservation is second to none!

Keep up with the adventures of Darius Arya, the archaeologist with access. History in real life!
