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!

✨Riot at the arena!✨
This fresco depicts a riot at the arena in Pompeii. The fresco likely depicts the riot that broke out in 59 CE between Pompeians and the neighbouring Nucerians. When news of the riots reached Rome, the emperor Nero banned events at the arena for a decade! Today this fresco can be seen at the MAN Napoli.

The #ancient #Roman #city of #Pompeii at the Gulf of #Naples offers remarkably #wellpreserved #insights into #dailylife before it was buried by Mount #Vesuvius in 79 AD. G. Sürmelihindi et al. (2026) investigated the #carbonate #incrustations in the #baths, the #aqueduct, and in #wells, with the latter being replaced by the penultimate as #technical #improvement. The periodicity of #δ13C variations from wells and republican #pools indicated poor #hygienicconditions.
