This Exciting Recent Discovery will be the Main Focus of this Tour! Begin your 2-hour guided tour of Pompeii, an ancient Roman city located near modern-day Naples, Italy. Learn about how it was famously buried under volcanic ash and pumice after the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE. The Discovery of drawings of gladiators made by children before the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79 New mythological paintings found in a room within the same insula Two victims of the eruption discovered by the main entrance of the house Gladiators and hunters, painted by small children with charcoal on the walls of a service courtyard in the House of the Colonnaded Cenaculum in via dell’Abbondanza at Pompeii, help to shed light on childhood in ancient Rome. As reported by the authors of an article published in the E-Journal of the excavations of Pompeii exposure to extreme forms of violence, even among very young children (estimated to be between 5-7 years old), does not seem to be a problem related exclusively to our own era, it seems, that in antiquity the blood splattered in the arena was real and few people regarded it as a “problem”, with all the possible effects on the psychological and mental development of Pompeian children. The remains of two victims, a man and a woman, were discovered in the lapilli from the eruption of Vesuvius in front of the closed door of the House of the Painters at Work (the name stems from the fact that the house was being repainted at the time of the eruption); a small cubiculum(“bedroom”) came to light inside the house. It was furnished as a small study close to the tablinum (reception room) of the house. The mythological scenes include an unusual small painting, which has no parallels withing the repertoire of Vesuvian art, depicting a young hooded boy, possibly the deceased son of the owners. At the end of the tour, your Pompeii site ticket is valid until closing time, so you can stay as long as you like after the guided tour.
