SYNOPSIS

For the first time, a documentary unveils one of the most important cities of the Roman Empire, the ancient city of Narbonne in France, which was also the second port of Antiquity, after that of Rome. For 25 years, archaeologists have made a series of remarkable and never-seen-before discoveries which reveal so much wealth: piers, monumental canal, ship wreck, Roman houses and period frescoes, Capitol, imperial villa... Thanks to 3D reproductions and through the eyes of a young Roman woman, the director introduces us to this Latin capital of the 2nd century AD.
