Revealed: The sunken Roman city that was once the resort of the super rich but now lies beneath the waves with its treasures intact
  • Baiae was the Las Vegas for the super-rich of ancient Rome and was synonymous with luxury and wickedness
  • But as the centuries passed, much of it was lost to the sea as volcanic activity caused the coastline to retreat
  • The quickly retreating coastline forced all of Baiae under water and into the Gulf of Naples in modern-day Italy
  • The site has since been re-discovered, 1,700 years after disappearing beneath the waves on Italy's west coast

Going to the site was well worth the time. There are some awesome pics of this city. Humanity hasn’t changed much in the 1,700 years.
