"Fabia Secundina from Pompeii ended up in Puteoli where she married a gladiator, Aquarius the Retiarius. He died at the age of 25, leaving her in dire financial straits."

Ladies, choose your mate carefully. Mom & Dad might not approve if you choose a gladiator. Of course, your Mom & Dad probably have not been incinerated in a pyroclastic flow.

‘’Of course, your Mom &Dad probably have not been incinerated in a pyroclastic flow.’’ LOL! Boy wouldn’t that suck.

I’m sure however at some point a bunch of Pompeian kids wished their parents had been for any number of reasons.

When your town has been buried by a volcanic eruption, the right way to break that news is to build up to it, like “your parents were on the roof...”
