Wolfgang Filser, archaeologist and associate professor at the University of Copenhagen joins us this week to talk about Roman Luxury Seaside Villas. We'll learn:

What was the ancient Roman equivalent of Malibu beach?

Where did the very wealthiest Romans escape to for their luxury retreats?

And how did their luxury maritime villas merge the land and the sea?

Tune in to this episode and find out the answer to all these questions and more, when I interview Wolfgang Filser, expert in Roman maritime villas. Since 2014 Wolfgang has lead excavations at the Cape of Sorrento near Naples, and today he's sharing some of his special insights into the seaside estates of the Roman elites.

Welcome to the final episode of season 1 of Let's Dig Deeper!

We're wrapping up with the 10th episode of the podcast, which also happens to be the final of the Athens episodes.

Today we're talking with philologist Rasmus Sevelsted about Plato! More specifically, his views on art and culture. How did the forms play a role in his worldview? What responsibility does art and artists have in society? What ideals should we teach our children?

These are some of the questions we're gonna answer in this episode.

On a more personal note, I'm so happy that so many of you have tuned in for episodes of Let's Dig Deeper in the past year. Following today's episode, I'll be taking a hiatus to start production on season 2 of the podcast. There is already a lot of exciting stuff in the pipeline, and I look forward to making it as great as possible for you guys - so stay tuned! We'll dig deeper together soon x
