PBS is taking audiences below the waves in a new episode of its hit history-based series Secrets of the Dead.
Public Media Distribution will release Secrets of the Dead: Nero’s Sunken City on DVD Tuesday, May 9. This new installment of SOTD follows a group of archaeologists as they investigate the ancient city of Baiea.
The investigation isn’t all easy, though, as more than half of the city sits submerged beneath the Bay of Naples. The submerged ruins are three times the size of those found at Pompeii. The investigations found roads, brick walls, villas with marble floors and mosaics as well as elaborate spas and more.
The once great city was the personal playground of Rome’s elite class in its heyday. Now centuries after it was overtaken by the sea, archaeologists set out to find out what led to the city’s disappearance, what once made it such a thriving location and what actually happened in the city.
Secrets of the Dead: Nero’s Sunken City will retail for MSRP of $24.99, but can be pre-ordered now at a reduced price of $19.99 via PBS’ online store. Audiences can see a trailer for this episode of SOTD online now here.
