Thank you. Wish I knew this when I visited. The crowd around the fountain really got on my nerves. I would have enjoyed the peace and intellectual stimulus of the ruins.
My wife and I walked down those steps and by those ruins shown at 2:53, 4 times a day for a week and never knew the history you shared. I've never enjoyed a city anywhere as much as I did our time in Rome. You can't say you've lived if you've never been to Rome.
Interesting video, please slow down a bit when showing the beautiful jars and pottery. I would invest in a guided tour if I ever get to Italy so I wouldn’t miss these little gems.
You can access the old aquaduct and the area under trevibftn through a gelato and coffee shop for a few euro. Google Vicus Caprarius....the water city.
Fun fact: Romans DIDN'T drink stored water nor rain water, they had multiple aqueducts so they didn't need to collect water, for those who couldn't afford the water sevice at home (the fewer), multiple fountains were at these people disposal, that's why they also had the best sewers in the world. What happened after the romans was something totally different that had nothing to do with them, but many teach us "stories" about the romans that have nothing to do with reality, like the gladiator games, even an edict from Augustus banned serious injuries and says that these games are shows, nothing to do with movies like "Gladiator", nobody could have the stomach to watch/hear that kind of violence, real life is not a video game/movie. Deus benedicat tibi.

This was very delightful to watch and learn, bravo!
Many thanks!

Sorry if I missed this, but how does one access the ruins underneath? (There was so much to process in this video that I was a bit overwhelmed!)
The entrance is located at Vicolo del Puttarello, a small narrow alley in front of the Trevi Fountain.
@@AugustinianThomist Thank you for replying! I appreciate that.

"Wa-uh"? Do you mean to say "water"?
