This episode, Lost Ships: Gallery of the Gods features an expedition to find a sunken Roman ship: In 88 B.C., when the Romans considered the Greeks their slaves, the Greeks decided to stage a rebellion. Rome sent its most powerful general, Lucius Sulla, and an army of 30,000 mercenaries to forcefully retaliate. After attacking Athens and killing thousands of people, the soldiers plundered the city and tore apart the Olympian temple, loading its fine marble and many treasures on the ship to take them back to Rome.
