guy Posted June 13 Report Share Posted June 13 (edited) Excavations at Pompeii’s House of the Chaste Lovers uncovered the skeleton of an equid (likely a donkey or mule) inside the bakery area of the production complex. The find adds new evidence about the working animals that powered Pompeii’s grain‑to‑bread industry (See picture below.) The House of the Chaste Lovers is a major insula containing a large bakery, stables, storage rooms, workspaces, and the owner’s residence, named after the famous “Chaste Kiss” fresco (see above). Previous excavations had already revealed other equids used to turn millstones and transport grain. https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2026/06/07/pompeii-excavations-reveal-equid-skeleton-at-house-of-the-chaste-lovers Edited June 17 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
