Archaeologists discovered during the excavations of the villa near Pompius an unusually well-preserved room in which slaves probably lived. In a small room there were three beds and a wooden chest, a message in the archaeological park Pompey.
Excavations at Villa Civita-Julian, located a few hundred meters from the deceased in the eruption of Vesuviya Ancient Roman city, are conducted since 2017. In January, the researchers have made a discovery there – they found a richly decorated chariot and stables with the remains of three horses. Now the archaeologists managed to be found halfway between the bedroom and the pantry small – a volume of 16 square meters – a room, which researchers suggest, served as a housing for servants serving and supported the chariot in working condition. This is indicated as found under one of the boards of the chariot, and a number of products made of fabric and metal, which were probably part of the harness.
also managed to make gypsum casts of three beds. They were designed from oak boards and could be fitted under human growth, their foundation was made of ropes that were twisted fabric. The length of two of them was 170 centimeters, and one – 140 centimeters. This allowed researchers to assume that a family lived in the room with a child. Under the beds, archaeologists have discovered several personal items, among which several mugs and a night pot. The room with a single window was also found eight amphors and a wooden chest, which contained metal and fabric items.
