Fascinating article, Dave.  When I went underground below St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, I discovered much of the same "lost" Roman civilization as highlighted here.

It is fascinating and I wish I could go back there again for another look

In the meantime, for those who would like to explore these things from the comfort of their armchairs, Auntie made a documentary, Rome's Invisible City, some years ago that used a whole load of 3D laser scanning to recreate what is underground.  For a taster, have a look here.
