Empúries: The Lost Roman City by the Sea | Ancient Rome

Hidden along Spain’s Costa Brava lies a city where Greek and Roman civilizations once lived side by side… and then vanished. 👉 Support my work on Patreon! –   / sandervkhistory   Empúries was once a thriving port, first built by Greek traders, later taken over by Roman legions. For over 1,000 years, it stood as a beacon of commerce, religion, and culture. Then, it disappeared. In this video, we explore the layered history of Empúries: from its Greek roots in the 6th century BCE, to its transformation into a Roman provincial city, to the lost statue of Asclepius, and the city’s eventual rediscovery in the 20th century. Empúries is more than a ruin. It’s where empires met, and where you can still walk through time.
