Welcome to the first episode of Rome Unveiled (Simple English)!In future episodes, we will talk about Roman food, buildings, stories, and daily life. But today, we start from the very beginning — the mud.

Before the marble… there was a swamp.

Many people know Rome as a city of stone, temples, and emperors. But long ago, it was very different. Join Sarah and local guide Giovanni as they travel 2,800 years into the past to discover the early Rome that existed before the Republic and before famous monuments.

Imagine the ground wet and soft, the smell of wood smoke, the sound of sheep and simple tools.Small villages stood on top of hills. A muddy valley below was used as a cemetery. A river crossing nearby helped people trade goods like salt.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why early people chose this "muddy and difficult place" to live.
• What the small "hut urns" tell us about life and death in early Rome.
• How stories like Romulus and Remus may hide real memories from the past.
• How a simple salt road helped turn a cemetery into the Roman Forum.
• How the Etruscans changed Roman buildings, religion, and politics.

This episode helps you see Rome in a new way — not as a city built only by power,but as a place shaped by many people working together through time.
