O TYM PODKAŚCIE 🔗
Step into a world long gone and live a single day inside it. "A Day in the Life" is an immersive history series that drops you into a place and time and lets a local show you around — the sights, sounds, smells, work, and rituals of an ordinary day. In this first journey, your guide is Marcus Valerius, a citizen of Rome at the height of the Empire, who walks you from dawn to dusk through the greatest city in the ancient world: the bread and the baths, the Forum and the games, the gods, the crowds, and the everyday life of Romans both grand and humble.
