Slaves’ lives uncovered at Pompeii villa - Italy

The furnishings of a room assigned to slaves have been found in the Roman villa of Civita Giuliana, about 600 metres from the walls of ancient Pompeii, Italy on August 2023. The lives of the slaves who kept the Ancient Roman rich in their often opulent settings in Pompeii have been revealed by a fresh dig. It looks like a photograph which denounces a situation of precariousness and subordination said the Italian culture ministry. However, it is an image of almost 2000 years ago, made with the cast technique, existing only in and around Pompeii. Materials such as furniture and fabrics, as well as the bodies of victims of the eruption of 79 AD, were covered by the pyroclastic cloud, which then became solid ground while the decomposed organic matter left a void in the ground: an imprint which, filled with plaster, has revealed its original form. What has now emerged suggests a precise hierarchy within the servitude. While one of the two beds found in recent weeks is extremely simple and without a mattress the ot

    Carpenter’s Tools Found In A Room In A Villa In Pompeii - Italy

    Carpenter’s tools have been discovered in a Roman Villa of the servile neighborhood of Civita Giuliana in the suburb of the ancient city of Pompeii, Italy in May 2024. The room contains a bed, as well as work tools and what appears to be a frame, perhaps of another bed, disassembled: baskets, a long rope, pieces of wood, and a saw with a blade, which does not seem very different from traditional saws used until recently, are also recognized. Even a piece of rope has been identified as an imprint in the ground, which kept it under tension. The room was exceptionally well-preserved and it was possible to make casts of furniture and other objects made of perishable materials: wood, fabrics, ropes. The technique of making casts, systematically experimented with since 1863 with the creation of the first casts of the victims of the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD, is unique in the world as it is the result of the specific dynamics of the catastrophic event: people or objects dragged and covered by the ‘pyroclastic fl
