This is so cool! For less that $5, you can check out one of Rome's secret archaeological sites!
"Vicus Caprarius, known as the City of Water, is an ancient Roman apartment complex located beneath the city's Trevi district, including its famed fountain. The archaeological site dates back to the first century, but wasn't discovered until the late 1990s.
Today, visitors can head to the underground site for a glimpse at the homes of ancient upper-class Romans. The space also displays examples of the hundreds of artifacts that were found during excavation, including terra-cotta figurines, African pottery, mosaic tiles, and over 800 coins."
One of Rome's hidden gems has been hiding right under the noses of millions of tourists — at an archaeological site under the Trevi Fountain to be exact.
