Buried by volcanic debris from mount Vesuvius, is a house of two stories, with some famous mosaics of the Roman world, and skillfully crafted sculpture and painting. The house was connected to possibly the most well preserved shop of the ancient world. The remains of food was found still in its containers, and it even has wooden elements still preserved in their original position. Join us as we explore the house of Neptune and amphitrite in the city of Herculaneum.

The sea trade that made the house owner rich was pretty much the only investment opportunity in antiquity. The standard interest yield was 20%, unless the ship sank.

This is an absolute masterpiece my Mum, Sister, Auntie and I visited April 2023, Pompeii was jaw dropping but Herculaneum was so much quieter and so we got to see quite a lot more. The amount of carbonised wood was fascinating and this mosaic is so vivid and rich in colour. I’d recommend Herculaneum to anybody and I’d go again today if I didn’t live in the UK 😂❤️🇮🇹

@beerymr

Did anyone else notice that the narrator incorrectly notes that “Neptune holds the triton in his right hand”? It is clearly in his left hand!

@Kit_Bear

Magnificent. Imagine what it would have looked like at the time before the eruption. There's very few places that you can go and walk the same streets as people did 2000 years ago. Truly unique. I need to go some day.

@davidbuchanan5232

Another thing I found facinating that one could still smell the odors of burnt wood even after two millennium.

@yolandahebert2350

This barely scratches the surface of how much opulent wealth the Roman's had that even the shop owners had more than enough. Kinda like the middle class back in the 70's.

@CH-vv2hr

so badass... Those Romans were something else

@sammyspaniel6054

They would quickly learn thrive in our world but we would struggle in theirs.

@d.l.l.6578

Interesting how functional everything was.

@g1stylempdesign929

Mosaic glass is exactly like Pixels in our modern age. Or a print dot matrix from laser jet printer. Many individual colors used side by side in a knowing way to create the illusion of depth, shade, tone when our eyes and brain blend them visually to create a unified image.

@bevleeming6703

Camera work and views are excellent doing justice to the site. In some other channels, far too much of the picture is taken up by their face. You show us what we want to see, the ruins. Very informative too. Subscribed. Thank you!

@kimberlyperrotis8962

I love seeng new discoveries at Pompeii, Herculaneum, Stabiae, etc. Ancient Rome is endlessly fascinating, Greece, too.

@juelbriggs447

Very interesting, you transported me back more than 2,000 years.

@maestro-zq8gu

Those authepsae, the large pots the Romans used to boil water, were something fascinating I didn't know about. I also didn't know about how drinking water was so foul back then, they would dilute wine with this hot, sterilized water to create a hydrating, good tasting drink you could have all day long without getting drunk or tired that was used by children and adults alike. Sorta like an ancient sports drink.

@ultor7654

Breathtaking! So much quality content on that channel, thank you so much for sharing this gentlemen.

@PatSmith-wi1kz

That mosaic is probably the most beautiful in history

@wilsontheconqueror8101

The opening on each side of the mantle for lighting must have made a warm home environment for the owner and his family.

@jaenmartens5697

In Mexico you see this architecture all over in the interior pre Industrialized communities- They are fabulously comfortable as well as beautiful to live in now-

It is stunning now even with the damage. Can you imagine it back then? The craftsmanship is amazing! Someday I hope to see it myself but for now, thank you for bringing it to me!
