ROME UNCOVERED Sex, Money, Power & Everyday Life in Ancient Rome

Description

  • Forget the marble statues for a moment. Let's meet the people who actually lived here.
What was it really like to wake up in ancient Rome?

How much did an ordinary Roman earn?
Where did people live?
What did they eat?
Could a slave become rich?
How did Romans spend their free time?
Why did thousands of people cheer when a gladiator entered the arena?
And what happened when the most powerful man in the world walked into the Colosseum?

We will explore the Colosseum and the Roman Forum while discovering the world of:

Emperors and political power
Senators and wealthy elites
Ordinary Roman citizens
Freedmen who climbed the social ladder
Slaves and their extraordinary stories
Gladiators and ancient celebrity culture
Money, wages and everyday expenses
Food, entertainment

Hello everyone! I’m Mircea Marciu, your official licensed tourist guide in Rome. 🇮🇹 I’m authorized by the Italian Ministry of Tourism (Ministero del Turismo – Repubblica Italiana), and I’ve been sharing the history, stories and secrets of Rome with visitors from all over the world for many years. But my tours are not just about dates, names and monuments. I want you to experience Rome. I love bringing ancient Rome back to life — the emperors, gladiators, slaves, politicians, ordinary people, scandals, victories and disasters — and showing you the city through the eyes of the people who actually lived here. My goal is simple: to make history fascinating, understandable and unforgettable. Whether you're standing inside the Colosseum, walking through the Roman Forum, exploring the Vatican or simply discovering the streets of Rome, I want you to leave with great memories, a few amazing stories to tell your friends… and perhaps a completely different idea of what Rome really was. Welcome to Rome — and let’s discover it together!
