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
