The video describes everyday life in Bedriacum, a Roman town founded in the II century B.C. along the Via Postumia, the road that led from Genoa to Aquileia. This town was situated near the river Oglio, which linked the area of Cremona to the Adriatic Sea, through the Po river.

This location made Bedriacum a very important trading centre.
