Explore a little known underground Roman site.  A portion of a fourth century AD domus (Roman house) - decorated with marble and colorful frescoes- was discovered in 1899 underneath Museo Barracco, part of the "Musei in Comune" of the city of Rome.  After 20 years it's finally open to the public.  In this episode you can become familiar with the precious collection in the museum (open daily, free of charge) and learn about the domus' history.  Who built it?  What was it used form in its original form?  Descend four meters to the ancient level of Rome to lean about the mystery of the fourth century domus in the heart of the Campus Martius - centro storico!  

Thank you, Musei in Comune https://www.museiincomuneroma.it/and Zetema for the invitation to the reopening of the site this January!
