Rome: an archaeologist in the ancient Pompeii City has found a very preserved framework during the excavation of the tombs who also explain the city’s cultural life before being destroyed by volcanic eruptions in 79.
White hair skull and parts of the ear, as well as bones and fabric fragments, found in the tomb at the tomb Necropolis Porta Sarno, an area that is not yet open to the public located east of Pompeii’s Urban Center.
This discovery was unusual because most adults were cremated at that time.
A tomb inscription suggested that the owner, a slave who was released named Marcus Venerius Secundio, helped arrange performances in Greece in Pompeii.
Experts say it is the first confirmation that Greece, cultural language in the Mediterranean, is used with Latin.
“The show in Greek organized is evidence of a living and open cultural climate that characterizes ancient Pompeii,” Director of Pompeii Archaeological Park, Gabriel Zuchtriegel, said in a statement that announced the discovery.
In an interview with the Associated Press, Zuchtriegel said Marcus Venerius was clearly able to make a living for himself after he was released as a slave, given the size of the “monumental” of his burial grave.
“He didn’t really be very rich, but of course he reached a fairly large level of wealth,” Zuchtriegel said.
Mount Vesuvius eruption at 79 AD destroyed Pompeii.
Excavations for years have produced amazing discoveries of tombs, trains and brilliant neck houses.
