You don’t outrun the pyroclastic flow and death comes rapidly.
When do we hear the calls for reparations?
Maybe related to Giuliani?
I visited Pompeii back in 1970. Truly a fascinating place. I have always watched any TV shows about it and find it amusing how the experts opinions of who was what change over the years. Irregardless, if you ever have the chance to go - do NOT pass it up.
Cool. At Herculaneum you have many preserved this way, one of the reasons I like it better.
Herculaneum and Pompeii, bucket list items one and two. I had hoped to go there this past May but you see how that turned out! In Oxford, England last year they had a wonderful exhibit on food in Pompeii including some of the most famous artifacts relating to food, cooking and dining. That only whetted my appetite so to speak.
I thought for sure I would open this thread up and there would be a screenshot from Spartacus with Laurence Olivier and Tony Curtis.
We visited Pompeii in 1970 while serving in the US cold war.
Can’t be true. Slavery only affected Africans brought to the Americas
Thats impossible slavery didn’t exist until 1619!

More than likely a white, northern European slave.
I don’t see either victim “face down”. I do wish people could at least be accurate.
