In AD 79, Mt. Vesuvius, the volcano looming over the bustling Ancient Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum erupted with shattering force literally stopping the lives of these cities and surrounding areas in their tracks. Excavations have been ongoing for decades, and each season brings more extraordinary discoveries that let us see what everyday life was like in these cities of the ancient Roman world. Among the exciting recent discoveries in Regio V have been the remains of a chariot and horse, and some wonderful fresco paintings of food that look very like pizza or flatbread!
