He retraces the amazing first finds, hidden deep beneath the rock-hard volcanic debris, where miners burrowed 25 metres down to a forgotten theatre that was once filled with Roman audiences, and he enters the spectacular gladiatorial arena whose discovery opened the floodgates to the excavation of Pompeii - revealing a fascinating lost world of life and death in ancient Rome.
