  1. Let’s hope your weekend doesn’t all take a turn like this riot in the amphitheatre at Pompeii which led to the closure of the amphitheatre in 59 CE! There’s partying hard and then whatever brawl *this* turned into!

  6. In 79 AD, the #ancient #city of #Herculaneum was #overwhelmed and #buried by multiple #pyroclasticflows resulting from a devastating #eruption of Mount #Vesuvius. The city's everyday environment was abruptly #encased in #solidrock, allowing #organicmaterials to be #preserved better than in #Pompeii. These include the #Herculaneumpapyri (see ref).

    "[The Sabines] made for the gates which [Romulus] had barred, but Saturnia [Hera] herself unlocked, keeping the hinges silent. Only Venus perceived the gate's great bars had dropped and would have closed it but gods are never allowed to undo what gods have done."
    Ovid, Metamorphoses 14.778
