    I wish that I’d had Mary Beard by my side when I visited Pompeii! There’s so much to see, but often there’s little background information about the buildings and the people to put it all in context (except for the many brothels which need no explanation, especially in Pompeii!).

    I think it just as likely that the "poor" people in the cellar are just people that ran for their lives without grabbing jewelery and coins when the eruption started or were doing daily things that wouldn't call for them to be wearing jewlerey and what not.

    • @jonb351

      That's possible, but I think the separation of the haves and have nots, along with the lack of physical wealth, leads to the conclusion that they were poor

    In reference to the indications of possible congenital syphilis, there is a superb documentary revealing the discovery of pre-Columbus cases of syphilis ..the earliest found in Ancient Greece. The documentary is called "THE SYPHILIS ENIGMA". Excellently done. (Background music, etc. CAN be a bit overpowering.)

      The ancient Romans used a special technique where they painted on wet plaster which "sucked in" the pigments as it dried. So the paintings literally became part of the structure.

    21:13. There is a way for having water circulation. Consider that, if the water was constantly getting in the pool by that spout, the pool would soon overflow; that would make for water circulation. Also, slaves with buckets could take water out from the pool, and, at some point of the late afternoon, night, or dawn, could empty the pool and scrub it. Without that, algae, slimes and other critters would have easily developed.
    And, if the water was never renovated and the pool never cleaned, can you imagine any person willingly getting into that septic tank? Romans would be famous for bathing in rivers instead of Roman baths.

    Armchair theory about the three statues: if the ashes of the woman were already interred there then it might’ve been taboo or upsetting to take a hammer to the monument. Just my blind guess because I would’ve removed the statue too.
