AT THE BOTTOM OF THE GULF OF POZZUOLI OFF THE MODERN TOWN OF BAIA Underwater archaeology in Italy came of age here, and the site continues to drive research, innovation, and discovery. Excavations in the now-underwater nymphaeum showed that the walls were clad in marble and had also originally been covered in a layer of glass mosaic and shells: a glittering marine cave. The reconstructed space is just one highlight of the underwater archaeological park. This area includes the remains of at least two imperial villas. To the east is evidence of a commercial port, called the Portus Julius. “This site,” says archaeologist Fabio Pagano, director of the Archaeological Park of the Campi Flegrei, “it’s not simple.” Lost Roman Resort | Archaeology Magazine
