Frescoed relic frozen by ash from Vesuvius eruption reveals snack bar used by poor residents of Roman city
An ancient thermopolium, or fast food eatery, that was unearthed in Pompeii in 2019 will opened to the public this week.
The frescoed relic, which had been preserved by ash from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD74, was found in Regio V, a 21.8-hectare (54-acre) site to the north of Pompeii’s archaeological park near the Bay of Naples in southern Italy.
