Pompeii - Wed. Oct. 17, 2007

Mt. Vesuvius behind the ruins of Pompeii

the intricate marble work on a floor in a home in Pompeii
This is the center of a rich man's house, kind of like a sky light, it allowed him to catch fresh rain water and light his house in the day. Notice the walls, all the walls were painted with Roman inspired shapes and drawings instead instead of wallpaper. Remember that this is prior to 79AD.
