Lots of nice pictures (though mostly not of this discovery) are here:

Brothel slaves were pictured with white skin.

I noticed that every one of the busts and frescoes featured subjects with red or brownish hair. Not a single person with black hair, as one might expect today. Were Pompeiians of German descent? Romans? Goths? Visigoths? Ostrogoths?

I didn't see anything reflective of Christianity, either. (Not that it would have been expected so early, at 79AD).

It is something everyone should go visit in person.
