Professor Andrew Wallace-Hadrill presents a documentary following the scientific investigation that aims to lift the lid on what life was like in The Herculaneum, moments before it was destroyed by a volcanic eruption. The investigation, based around the discovery of 12 arched vaults, reveals in great detail the lives of the ill-fated town's residents, and unique aerial photography gives a behind-the-scenes look at the town from the skies. With contributions from the forensic scientists leading the investigation, the film uncovers the minutiae of daily life in Herculaneum, including not just what residents ate but how they ate it.
