Ancient Roman Snack Shop Excavated
Archaeologists have finished excavating a snack bar, or thermopolium, in the Regio V section of northeastern Pompeii. When the city was destroyed by Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE it was a thriving ancient Roman community which meant there were bakeries, laundries, brothels – and snack shops. About 80 thermopoliums are thought to have fed the residents of ancient Pompeii.
The recently-excavated thermopolium was a well-decorated snack shop. Frescoes excavated include depictions of a Nereid riding a seahorse, gladiators in combat, ducks, and a rooster. An image of a dog on a leash may refer to the owner’s guard dog, as a complete dog skeleton was found in the doorway. Fragments of bone found in pots in the shop’s counter indicate that pork, fish, snails, and beef were on the menu.
Unfortunately a man in his 50s was in bed at the time of the eruption, judging by the human remains found as well.
