Nephele, I miss your posts. Hope you and yours are well.

Thanks for sharing this.

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.
-
That's amazing.

I was going to post this in a separate post, but it's more appropriate here. : )

An interesting read. Thank you. Like the guy in the video, I also always wondered just how the lamps worked.

Have you personally ever been to the Vindolanda site? Are tourists allowed there?
-
Great! Something to watch this evening besides channel surfing. Will watch later.

This is the first I've read about these other coliseums. The one in France is amazing.
I hope you get to travel to Croatia, hope we all get to travel - anywhere - in the not too distance future.

Yes, it is interesting. Thank you for posting.

They are beautiful. Amazing.

Oh, how fascinating about the earring and its discovery.
And I don't think I've ever seen a collection of mummy portraits like this. Thanks for sharing.

Nice.
Wouldn't you just love to see how it really was back then?

That's a lot of litter boxes to clean. 😉

Ulpia Severina? A woman? Husband and wife? Both killed. I'll have to find out more.

I didn't notice the cross symbols' meanings before.

The tour of Rome included a walk to the Circus Maximus and the streets and area there. No crowding really, and I found it so interesting. Very nice with quiet streets and trees. I believe the Pompeii tour must have been toward the end of day as you mentioned, because it seemed as tho by the end the sun was beginning to set and I worried it would be dark before "I" got out of there. lol
Thank you for the additional info and I will check it out.

Last winter, I believe it was, I discovered the ProWalk tour videos and was hooked.
I "took" the Pompeii tour - all six hours of it. I had to take a break to fix supper, but ate it in front of the computer as I continued the tour into the evening. I enjoyed it. Yes, he walks quickly but I didn't find that annoying at all. If I wanted to see more of something, I paused the video. I have always wanted to go to Pompeii and I must say I feel as tho I have.
Another day I took the tour of the city of Rome - I forget how many hours that was - five? Up and down streets, historic areas, etc. I was over whelmed by the crowds at the Trevi Fountain! And I wasn't really there, but I couldn't wait to get away from there. ha Altho found it fascinating too.
Then I visited The Colosseum. Oh my, what an eye opener. I couldn't believe the crowds there, in fact I spent more time watching out for the people in front of me, coming at me, and beside me, then seeing the sites of the Colosseum. Felt like I was there. But again, I thought the video was wonderful.
There were a couple other tours I watched, but I can't recall right now which ones. Thanks for sharing the Capri tour. I enjoyed it.

As always, thanks for sharing the article. Also, you have inspired me to finally subscribe to Archaeology, (the introductory rate offer was a good one!)

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.
