It's being called the black room because it was painted black, likely to mask soot from oil lamps that would have burnt... They were painted black to make the colors more vibrant and stand out even more. A painter once told me that if you want white paint to be brighter, just add a little black...............

We visited Pompeii about 20 years ago and it was amazing.However,it was July and I got the worst sunburn I had ever had on that day. I'd love to go back in March or October and spend a lot more time there.I'd also like to visit Herculaneum.

My wife, who’s been just about everywhere, counts Pompeii in her Top Two Places to Visit.

Many subterranean discoveries. We noticed a couple underway during our visit to Rome many years ago. I believe the discovery was related to road construction. I’m curious how the structures were covered, or were they actually built into the ground.

I am upset at the lack of racial diversity in these frescos. They certainly do not reflect who we are today and should probably be withdrawn from public viewing if not destroyed.
