Summary

If you could sneak a peek past the front door of a Roman home, what could you expect to find? Why was having a hole in your ceiling a clever feat of engineering in the ancient world?

Emily Briffett is joined by historian Dr Hannah Platts, as they step inside the ancient Roman home to uncover more. The HistoryExtra podcast is produced by the team behind BBC History Magazine.
