Let’s read aloud first. 最初に声を出して読んでみましょう。
Baia, a town in Rome, is more than 2000 years old. Only the rich people and the politicians lived in the ancient town. Due to eruption of a volcano near the town in the Mediterranean Sea, the whole town was under the sea. It was later found by divers in 1969.
