Day 5. Baetulo. Founded in around 100 BC, the Roman city of Baetulo is most famous for its baths. Wonderfully preserved, they are visible in their entirety. Some stunning mosaics are at the House of the Dolphins.

80 days around the Roman Empire Day 4. We are in Be’er Sheva, near the largest city in the Negev desert. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site - it has impressive remains of antiquity. In Roman times, it was a defensive outpost of the Empire against the Nabataean Kingdom.

"80 days around the Roman Empire". Day 3. We stop at Antioch of Pisidia 
, a great city visited by St Paul and by Hadrian. King Attalos bequeathed Antiochia to Rome in 133 BC. One of the three surviving copies of Augustus' Res Gestae was discovered in Antioch.

#OnThisDay 69 CE: Vitellius was proclaimed emperor by Germania's legions, marking his rise in the Year of Four Emperors. After defeating Otho, his 8-month reign saw lavish feasts that drained Rome's treasury. His downfall came when Vespasian's eastern forces approached - by December, he was killed in Rome's streets, making way for the Flavian dynasty. Photo: "Grimani Vitellius", Venice.

The splendid Temple of Concord in Agrigento owes its survival to the fact that it was chosen, during the late Roman imperial age, to become a Christian church dedicated to the saints Peter and Paul.
