Rome CNN —Archaeologists excavating the site of Pompeii have uncovered an ancient building site, revealing Roman construction techniques used by builders at the time, according to the Italian Ministry of Culture. The ancient Roman city of Pompeii was home to up to 20,000 people before it was destroyed in the 79 AD eruption, which was visible from more than 40 kilometers (25 miles) away. Archaeologists have found what would have been an active construction site - perhaps more accurately described as a home renovation, according to Massimo Osanna, the general director of the site, in a press statement released Monday. Archaeologists say the site reveals the secrets as to how Roman structures have proven to be so durable.

☆ New find throws light on life of slaves in Ancient Rome's Pompeii
  + stars: | 2023-08-20 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
ROME, Aug 20 (Reuters) - Archaeologists have discovered a small bedroom in a Roman villa near Pompeii that was almost certainly used by slaves, throwing light on their lowly status in the ancient world, the culture ministry said on Sunday. The room was found at the Civita Giuliana villa, some 600 metres (2,000 ft) north of the walls of Pompeii, which was wiped out by a volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius nearly 2,000 years ago. Archaeologists said part of one of the beds had been destroyed by a tunnel used by robbers to access another part of the villa. Pompeii and the surrounding countryside was submerged by volcanic ash when Mount Vesuvius exploded in AD 79, killing thousands of Romans who had no idea they were living beneath one of Europe's biggest volcanoes. The eruption buried the city in a thick layer of ash, preserving many of its residents and buildings.

A bedroom "assigned to slaves" was discovered by archaeologists near Pompeii. The room at the Civita Giuliana villa sheds light on the living conditions of ancient Roman slaves. The find also offered an insight into the social hierarchy in ancient Rome, as the culture ministry noted that there was no evidence of locks or shackles discovered in the room. A small bedroom, used by slaves, is pictured after it was discovered by archaeologists in a Roman villa near Pompeii, Italy. Gennaro Sangiuliano, the Italian Minister of Culture, said the finds confirmed the need to continue research in the area.

☆ Sorry, pizza purists — a fresco from Pompeii shows Romans were eating a precursor to pizza 2,000 years ago with fruit that resembles pineapple
  + stars: | 2023-06-29 | by ( Marianne Guenot | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
A fresco in Pompeii revealed a surprising feast: a bready food that looks like a pizza. It may not qualify as pizza as Pompeii didn't have access to tomatoes or mozzarella, researchers said. The food may be a pizza ancestor, which seems to have been covered in fruit, they said. Parco Archeologico di PompeiThe fresco, which has maintained its vibrant colors throughout the years, is a rare find for archaeologists. Pompeii "never ceases to amaze," said Italian culture minister, Gennaro Sangiuliano, in the press release about the fresco.

  + stars: | 2023-05-16 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
ROME, May 16 (Reuters) - Two skeletons have been found in the ruins of Pompeii, the ancient Roman city wiped out by an eruption of volcano Mount Vesuvius nearly 2,000 years ago, the Italian Culture Ministry said on Tuesday. Pompeii Archaeological Park Director Gabriel Zuchtriegel said they were killed not by volcanic ash but by collapsing buildings, noting that wall fragments were found between their fractured bones. "Modern excavation techniques help us to better understand the inferno that completely destroyed the city of Pompeii over two days, killing many inhabitants", the German archaeologist said. REUTERS/Ciro De Luca/File PhotoThe Culture Ministry said "at least 15-20% of the population" was killed. Over the past two and a half centuries, archaeologists have recovered the remains of more than 1,300 victims.
☆ Sheep come to the rescue of Pompeii ruins
  + stars: | 2023-03-09 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
[1/5] Sheep graze the grass as part of an initiative to protect ancient ruins from growing green in unexcavated areas of the archaeological site in Pompeii, Italy, March 6, 2023. Archaeologists have uncovered only around two thirds of the 66-hectare (163 acres) site at Pompeii since excavations began 250 years ago. Preserving the unexplored sections of the ancient city against erosion by nature and time is a priority for those who manage the site. "If grass and other plants grow in or on the ancient walls and houses this is a problem. It was woods, vineyards, sheep and it was this kind of rural environment and in the midst of that you had Pompeii."
☆ Newly restored house in Pompeii offers glimpse of elite life
  + stars: | 2023-01-10 | by ( Associated Press | ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +1 min
The newly restored remains of an opulent house in Pompeii that likely belonged to two former slaves who became rich through the wine trade offer visitors an exceptional peek at details of domestic life in the doomed Roman city. On Tuesday, the House of Vettii, Domus Vettiorum in Latin, was being formally unveiled after 20 years of restoration. Given fresh life were frescoes from the latest fashion in Pompeii wall decoration before the flourishing city was buried under the volcanic ash furiously spewing from Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. That is delighting tourists and rewarding experts with tantalizing fresh insights into the everyday life of what is one of the most celebrated remnants of the ancient world. “The House of the Vetti is like the history of Pompeii and actually of Roman society within one house,” Pompeii’s director, Gabriel Zuchtriegel, gushed as he showed off an area of the domus known as the Cupid Rooms last month.
