Nero's Sunken City

Nero’s Sunken City

Baiae… An escape for ancient Rome’s powerful elite, the Las Vegas of its day. Now, archaeologists are mapping underwater ruins and piecing together what life was like in this playground for the rich.

In the Bay of Naples, just a few miles from Pompeii and Vesuvius, lies one of the world’s most stunning underwater archaeology sites.

This is the lost Roman city of Baiae.

From the first century to the third century AD, it was the most exclusive spot in the Roman empire.

You can come here, relax by the sea, and really indulge your wildest dreams.

It was a place of fantastic wealth.
