To the Romans the Porta Nigra would have been nothing remarkable - while it’s an impressive city gate, there were many like it, offering entrance through the walls into the Roman city of Augusta Treverorum. To today’s residents and visitors to Trier in Germany, it is a reminder of the city’s Roman past, as well an important part of early Christianity.

Pompeii has been excavated for hundreds of years, and in that time techniques, practices and philosophies have changed. We’re now finding out a lot more about the city and the people who lived there, and there’s still more to find out.
The When in Rome podcast is now fundraising for an upcoming series 8. Please give your support.
