An ancient thermopolium, or fast food eatery, that was unearthed in Pompeii in 2019 will open to the public this week.
The frescoed relic, which had been preserved by ash from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD74, was found in Regio V, a 21.8-hectare (54-acre) site to the north of Pompeii’s archaeological park near the Bay of Naples in southern Italy.
Archaeologists also discovered a floor made from polychrome marble as well as the remnants of duck bones, pigs, goats, fish and snails in earthenware pots, leading researchers to believe that one of the dishes on the menu was a type of paella.
