getwokingham - Reading Evening Post

Cold, wet, in the pitch black, twenty-five metres under the city of Rome, we pushed forwards against the water of Marcus Vespanius Agrippa’s Aqueduct, which has flowed continuously since 19BC, and I prayed that our new high-definition camera wasn’t going to drop into the water and flow all the way back to the Trevi fountain.

Our first filming adventure inside an aqueduct was a one-off.  We had spent six months negotiating for access to the Aqua Virgo and we knew we weren’t going to have a second chance.
