Explore the ancient world with someone who calls it home.
Most archaeologists spend their careers speaking to other archaeologists. Darius speaks to everyone.
For more than two decades, Darius has led archaeological research, directed the nonprofit Ancient Rome Live, appeared in internationally recognized documentaries, and helped millions discover that history is anything but static. Whether he's uncovering forgotten civilizations on television or walking beside travelers through the streets of Rome, his gift is making complex history feel immediate, personal, and unforgettable.
