  1. I have never heard or read about this before. Thank you. I bookmarked the Flyoverzone web site for later.
  2. ".....and what I'm standing on here is a 1970 sewer pipe that isn't very interesting...." But - 2,000 years from now someone may dig up a 1970 sewer pipe up and marvel and put it on display. I always think of this when broken pottery is found. The Roman person who broke it and tossed it thought "it isn't very interesting.." ha

    Late Roman villa of Caddeddi

    Stunning.
  4. Yeesh. Did you happen to view another video there titled "A Day in Pompeii -Full Length Animation"? Around 1pm. I would have gotten the hell out of there!
  5. I would like to know, however, how they came up with that date. I was wondering the same thing. It's hard to fathom.
  6. I've always been fascinated by the object. Imagine the anguish when news of the ship wreck reached whomever was responsible for its creation - looted or other wise. Did I miss what type of material it is made of? Why would only 1/3 of it survive? Corrosion causing it to fragment and those fragments being dispersed by the water current, surely there has been efforts to scour the site for them. Ah, all too mind blowing to think about.

    Latin: Ovid's Tour of Rome - Tristia 3.1

    And I too thank you, Italian Archaeologist in Scotland, for sharing this. Are there any known likenesses of Ovid?
  8. Oh my goodness. Incredible. Thanks for sharing.
  9. I don't mean to make a habit of posting these, but lately I've come across a couple of good ones. Here's the latest.

    Burials Found in Vatican City

    Thanks for sharing this.
  13. Well that was an enjoyable and informative talk with Ann Olga Koloski-Ostrow. Thank you for posting. I would like to hear more from that site. but I didn't catch the name of the young woman presenting the series of talks. The next was to be on leprosy.
  14. A very interesting read, enjoyed the video also.

    Pink Beach in Italy: No Visitors Allowed

    Never knew this existed.
  16. It was created by a true artist. I would love to see it in person. By the way, I'm always tempted to scroll down and about on the pages to read about other exciting finds. The video of the Acropolos Museum was amazing. That would be wonderful to see as well. Have you ever been?

    Pets: Touching Roman Grave

    Yes, very touching.
  18. Photos were stunning, esp. the one with the arched entrance to the arena. You can almost sense what it was like to emerge from that and be inside.
  19. Oh, thank you. The answer must have been in the first link which I could not open without disabling Adblock. I only read the info at the second link.
  20. Has the inscription been translated?

    Preserved Ancient Child

    Thanks for sharing this.
  23. I can't wait to see what discoveries are made. Perhaps areas where looters haven't been. Wouldn't that be thrilling to see new statuary, etc? I know many people find it all so touristy and such, but I've always been fascinated by Pompeii.
