      Roaming around Europe, especially south Europe, doesn't have to be very expensive. Greece first and foremost is cheaper than you may think. If you can get a plane ticket, and avoid having to stay in extravagant hotels and if you can can live on a supermarket diet you can cut down costs drastically. If you can be comfy with hostel life and eat food from markets, and if you're able and agile, you may find that you could absolutely enjoy some time in Europe. I'd start with Greece.

      I backpacked through New Zealand for a year when I was 19 without much money. Had to pick up a horticulture job for a few months to keep traveling, only stayed in hostels, and did a fair amount of hitchhiking, but it can be done. Did 4 months through South East Asia for about the cost of living in the States. You can absolutely do it. 😊

      Except it was only for the elites,
      not for the everyday people.
      Fresco in patrician homes remained the norm in Italy well into the Renaissance period and beyond. In fact it's not rare to find such art even in homes of the XIX Century.

      Door got covered in ash which hardened and sealed it in. Then door rotted leaving an empty space where the door was. Workers uncovering it would find an empty hollow which they filled with plaster. Then they remove the hardened ash around it revealing a plaster copy of the door. I figure that you are talking about how the 2000 year old door style is much the same as today.

    My personal' favourite Roman' Villa, is to be found, abandonded and overlooked, in the Woods behind a small village in central England.
    Its not on the tourist map and could easily be missed by anyone just taking a hike.
    Its my favourite because of its obsurity and because it, and the surrounding area, still hum with the vibe's of the long passed families who lived in and passed through there, so many centuries ago.
    The first time I crossed the tiny stone' bridge, which was expertly designed and built to withstand the test of time, I was really not that full of eager anticipation at the prospect of witnessing yet another Roman' ruin..."blah, blah, blah, fascinating...gonna love it! and all that stuff". But, the echoes and whispers of days and people long gone, truly surprised me.
    It was hardly a ruin. More like an imprint. The foundations, a tiny segment of the intricately constructed bath' house floor and not much more.
    Nestling there, just to the side of what was possibly once a busy Roman' road, in a small, none descript piece of woodland sleeps a piece of history. Not a magnificent, palatial masterpiece, just a villa, yet so much more....😊

    When I drove around Italy in 1996 I made sure Pompeii & Herculaneum were on the itinerary. If I had known such places as this were available I would have visited. I guess the first two above would be even more crowded with tourists than then, but I would still go back in a heartbeat. Spain also had many well preserved Roman constructions, but not this level of interior preservation.
    Sun and beaches can be found anywhere, I'd rather see a historical site any day.

    I was going to add that there was one skeleton found at the villa (colloquially called Villa A sometimes), but it was found just to the north. The speculation is that it was a victim who was swept in from further inland by one of the later pyroclastic flows. I thought too that the Lady of Oplontis was found at this villa, but she was found at the nearby Villa B.

    Pompei has been my ultimate bucket list visit since I saw Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii at some midnight movie theater some time in the 70's...
    Since then, I have watched a million videos of walk - throughs filled with thousands of sweaty tourists troding the various streets.
    Yet, I would go there still...but I waited too long.
    If you are young, and can afford it...do not postpone. Go to the places you love.. when you have the chance. Even if you have to quit your job to do it.
    Otherwise you end up old and filled with regret at the marvels that you let pass you by...

    Something seems evident: color and richly painted walls also was a way to express wealth. I think what's more impressive is that the details of those painting show not fantasies but surely enough, real examples of places that had those richly decorated columns made from exotic materials and statues and objects and what not. Very few of which survived as those costly materials were always repurposed on times of scarcity.

    There's one thing that strikes me when I look at the interiors of these Roman villas is that there don't seem to be any windows. The bedrooms that you show here seem to be completely enclosed and very dark, the only light comes in through the doorway that opens onto the courtyard. At the 'Roman Villa' at Newt in Somerset in the UK there are windows and La Villa Kérylos in the South of France, for example, the decorated rooms with their walls covered wth frescoes and the mozaic floors are extremely well lit.

    That's amazing! Are the paintings on the walls of the atrium restorations or original?

    I do wonder if the gravel that we can see all over the place is a modern thing or was something common back then? I would expect something softer like sand or flat stone but maybe wearing sandals was common inside the palace ... then gravel wouldn't be that much of a bother (just annoying because it will get stuck in your sandal sooner or later ^^)

    Judging by those two large murals with the peacocks it looks like they had some understanding of 1 or 2 point perspective. Did that knowledge then get lost after the fall of the empire only to be rediscovered during the early renaissance?

      It was probably passed on from artist to apprentices. People were probably too busy surviving, war, famine, disease, that arts were secondary and only available to a few lucky people. The dark ages were not as dark as we have been told.

    I would love to see a recreation of a villa like this fully furnished and staffed. The sofas, carpets, tapestries etc. I suppose the closest you can get is from watching Hollywood movies.

    Wonder if Nero, after kicking Poppea to death just because he couldn't take any criticism, considered the fact he wasted all the money he spent in this expensive and big villa only for his wife's happiness

      @@andrealuisecandido1154 it was not because he couldn't take criticism, in fact he didnt kick her to death at all. She died in childbirth. This kicking to death was a rumour spread by his enemies to make him look even more tyranical than he actually was. Like fiddling when rome burned. Fiddles wasn't even invented then, they had Lires, plus he wasnt even in Rome when this occurred. He hurried back to Rome to help with the relief effort and opened up his palaces to those made homeless. The only mistake he made was planning on building the massive palace that is still underground today. He was not as bad as people and history would have him portrayed.

    I thought the baths were style III and came before the dining room which was style IV?

      It is not exactly decorations, but how they are made and we still make the good ones exactly the same as they did two thousand years ago.

    Great video. Why are some areas still buried? These places have been known for quite some time now. One might think they have had plenty of time to completely excavate the ruins.

    • @lycaonpictus9662
      @lycaonpictus9662 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Money.
      Excavations & preservation of sites that are unearthed are expensive. Add to that a lot of these sites being buried under modern cities, towns or infrastructure.
