Maybe if you’d quit driving near the volcanoes...

Sounds like Seneca was jealous.

The remaining ruins of Baiae on dry land are still impressive. Including an ancient dome intact over a cistern.

“Though it has certain natural advantages, luxury has claimed it for her own exclusive resort... To witness persons wandering drunk along the beach, the riotous reveling of sailing parties, the lakes a-din with choral song, and all the other ways in which luxury, when it is, so to speak, released from the restraints of law not merely sins, but blazons its sins abroad—why must I witness all this?” he wrote.

Ocean levels during the ice age were 300-400 feet lower than they are today. It’s only been about 11,000 years since they rose to today’s levels.

Geologic history puts a lot of things in perspective.

Today I learned (probably forgot and relearned) that some of these sunken Roman cities were caused by movement of magma. The magma simply moved somewhere else and the land sunk.

What I do not know is if this happened slowly or suddenly. I hope someone here can tell me how fast this happened.

The whole Bay of Naples was pretty wild during Roman days, for example, Pompey. Imagine how much more this city amped up the hedonism.

[nitzy]

It was a joke, dumb dumb. Lighten up.

Did they recover the slot machines and the black jack table yet? I think I left my wrist sundial there! 🤓

There are no oceans near Puteoli/Pozzuoli...just the Tyrrhenian Sea.
