Using six Roman and Etruscan coins uncovered at the home, archeologists believe the house collapsed in 79 AD during wars unleashed by Roman general and dictator, Lucio Cornelio Silla.

Lucius Cornelius Sulla died in 675 AUC, 78 BCE.
Rome was not a Republic in 79CE, it was ruled by Emperor Vespasian and then hi son Titus in 79.
