All aboard as Alice starts her journey in glorious Naples. And then Pompeii - with some ingenious engineering, an examination of the lives of enslaved people and one of Rome's mysterious cults.
Alice takes a train to Herculaneum, where she braves hand-dug tunnels to search for priceless scrolls. In Capua, she tracks down a secret cult and learns about the lives of gladiators.
Alice digs into stories behind Rome's world-famous ancient landmarks and the Roman empire's debt to the Etruscans. In Florence, it's time for cocktails.
In Parma, Alice discovers ancient gems. In Turin, she learns all about Roman bread and all-action Hollywood before catching a train up and across the Alps with Hannibal on her mind.
In Nimes, Alice keeps running into crocodiles, amazing Roman engineering, and landmarks that are better than anything else outside of Rome. Then she hops on a train to Spain.
On the final leg of her journey, from Tarragona to Cartagena, Alice learns how the Romans conquered Spain and gained control of the entire Mediterranean.
