Pompeii's Greatest Treasures episode 1

Secrets of Pompeii's Greatest Treasures episode 1: Bettany Hughes heads to the Ancient Roman City of Pompeii. Once compounded by volcanic ash, now a treasure trove of history. Almost 2,000 years on, Bettany explores the city to find remnants of the Roman empire, revealing the secrets of those who lived there, and really how different ancient Rome is to our world today. Exploring the villas usually off-limits to the public and the chilling remains of those that tried to escape the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79AD, Bettany builds up a perhaps not so idyllic picture of life in Pompeii all those years ago.
