Where Did All of Ancient Rome’s Garbage Go?

A documentary journey through the hidden systems, trades, and labor that kept ancient Rome from drowning in its own waste. From the dangers of chamber pots thrown from insula windows and Vespasian's famous urine tax, to the engineering of the Cloaca Maxima, Agrippa's legendary sewer inspection, Monte Testaccio's mountain of broken amphorae, and the forgotten workers who hauled dung, cleaned latrines, and scavenged refuse, this is the story of Rome's garbage-and what it reveals about everyday Roman life. #AncientHistory #RomanHistory #AncientRome
