This is where Democracy was born. Democrats are the original slave owners and still are.
Democracy was first developed in ancient Athens around the 5th century B.C. by a statesman named Cleisthenes, who is often referred to as the "father of Athenian democracy."
If he was a politician, the rich, dead guy my guess is he was an jerk ,why we give rich people more preference than the Gracious and kind I’ll never know
Thanks for posting! I ❤️ everything about history! Sometimes, you learn something new about a historical site anytime you watch new documentary!
Pompei was a typical metropolis….crime, perversion, and corruption are all results of humans living in close proximity.
Can't take the twit in the blue dress. Moving right along…
It's usually about the eruption itself, I enjoyed learning what scientists have learned about society in Pompeii. ALWAYS a good production from NOVA.
This is stunningly presented. But there is a lot of speculation on the lives of the inhabitants (at all levels). Regrettably, there is a lot of modern projection from our world onto theirs. It would be better to state what we know, vs. what we think and not project our values onto a culture that we know only through ruins and what history remains. Presentism has no place in real science and history.
Thank you PBS! We the people will not let the FCC hurt you ❤!
🤔kind of like Sodom & Gomorrah…………woooossshh!!!!!
There are slaves still working today for Amazon,UPS, FedX ..on and on and on..
to think that in a few thousand years they'll be saying the same thing about the entire USA
This is fascinating. Ive always been intrigued with Pompeii, since I saw the Pompeii 79 A. D. exhibit when I was a teen.
When will our governments learn that creating class divides and immense inequality does not benefit them? It seems that in thousands of years nothing has been learned. You could look at Los Angeles and call that a modern day Pompeii with multimillion dollar homes, millionaires and boutiques right up against Skid Row, homeless and incredible poverty. They think they have us under control by keeping us at each other‘s throats instead of at their throats. Do they? Are we as dumb as our governments whereby as the people we have learned nothing and we continue to let them manipulate us? We do need a great reset and that great reset is to get rid of the massive inequality around the world. No one person needs billions of dollars and the one person with billions of dollars did not earn that money by himself. Our thinking needs a great reset, our way of relating to one another, needs a great reset and our way of being complacent, allowing our governments to do whatever they want needs a great reset.
NOVA: "This may have been the largest slave society in history"
Jeff Bezos: "Hold my Dugat-Py"
I love the Diamonds though….. Ribg ring
I feel spoiled too eapecially by the Lava
NOVA does it again…thanksssss ^~^
I mean… they never found the body of Spartacus. I prefer to believe he somehow escaped. He led the largest slave revolt against the largest empires to ever exist. He essentially bloomed the triumvirate.
Why would Rome tell his story? The victors write the history and erase those who pull back the curtains on how heavily the thumb was truly holding the citizens/slaves down.
Spartacus gave the enslaved hope. They couldn’t have that and suppressed the heroics to make sure slaves didn’t try it again. I get Spartacus and his people weren’t innocent and some participated in atrocities.
It still sucks that his story isn’t fully revealed.
Great documentary on ancient Roman society. I've been fascinated by this for many years, because they were so like us, but so different in some ways. Anf like it or not, they were at the root of modern western society.
Meh, I learn more about Roman life – all castes of it – by reading Lindsay Davis' "Falco" novels.
Highly recommended.
How naïve are archeologists- and how naïve do they think VIEWERS are, to be (or act?) Shocked that ancient civilizations enslaved other civilizations?? Is that really a discovery, because I knew that in grade school in the 1960s!

Such a shame that instead of focusing on educational programs you went partisan…oh well, next time you'll stay in your lane and keep political ideology neutral…
I am a PBS fan, and have loved many, many of their programs for decades, but I’ve noticed with some recent shows, including this one, that it contains some information about the identified topic, but then the rest is a mish-mash of things that are not really related to the identified topic. I hope this is not becoming a trend.
They're still chaining down their parked cars in Naples so, not a whole lot has changed over the millenia
NOVA is always an excellent show. Even if I think it's a topic that's not for me, I'm enraptured. Thank you for continuing to produce an amazing show after all these years.
It was 1,945 years ago! 2:19
Apropos the wealth and classes of the Roman society, back then…"I've been rich and, I have been poor… Rich is better 😂. Sofie Tucker, I believe she said that….,🌹🌹🌹
