Pompeii: The Thermopolium of Regio V

This seems to be hitting the news on France 24.

“The Thermopolium of Regio V, one of the snack bars at Pompeii, complete with an image of a Nereid riding a sea-horse, which had previously been partially excavated in 2019, re-emerges in its entirety, with other rich decorative still lifes, food residues, animal bones and victims of the eruption.”

The videos on this site are in Italian but it looks that there is a translation on you tube.

Hi Seneca,

I see there’s also a documentary on Italian Rai 2 this evening at 9 p.m. local time with footage of some of the latest finds. The blurb reads:

‘Rai Documentari invita il grande pubblico a scoprire il sito archeologico più importante d’Europa con un documentario che ricostruisce, grazie ad una dettagliata fiction, le circostanze e gli ultimi momenti di vita delle vittime ritrovate durante i recentissimi scavi. Immagini esclusive che restituiscono, in soggettiva, gli eventi delle ultime ore di Pompei.’
