The Three Graces in their classic pose. This mosaic is from the garden of the House of Apollo at Pompeii. Today this scene is held by the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli.
The touches of blue background give a sense of the original richness of the piece.

What was the first Roman coin? Possibly an early variant of this one. Either way, Janus & a ship's prow has a lot of history, from early #Rome, #doors and #transition, to #Pompeii, to a month of the year and the beginnings of coin-based games of #chance - this piece has it all: https://coinofnote.com/roman-republic-aes-grave-janus-ships-prow/ #SaturdayNightCoinShow #History #Collecting #CoinCollecting #Ship

August 20 (or 24), 79, the #Earth starts rumbling in #Pompeii, damaging buildings, as seen in this recovered relief. It remains unclear if the #earthquake is related to the awakening of Mount Vesuvius. The volcano will destroy the town later in the same year 🌋

The Streets of Pompeii (that'd be a good title for a book). High edges, with "stepping stones" for pedestrians to cross. Guess what happens when it rains?
They become rivers, with waterfall even.

Loving the objet d'art of Pompeii
Great place to visit out of season ('in season' it's mad with people and heat).
You'll definitely get your 'steps in' that day.

Archaeologists discover a ‘Pizza’ painting in ancient Roman ruins of Pompeii
Archaeologists in the ancient Roman city of Pompeii have discovered a 2,000-year-old fresco that depicts what could be the ancestor of the Italian pizza.
The painting, found in the hall of a house adjacent to a bakery, showcases a flatbread that may have served as a precursor to the modern dish.
