Pompeii

Pompeii, an unbelievably well preserved example of a first century Roman city due to the tragic eruption of Mnt Vesuvius in AD 79. The city and many of its people were frozen in time. This was a Roman city of the time of the early Christian church, though we do not know of any Christian presence in Pompeii. It is not mentioned in the Bible. But it is a perfect example of life in St Paul’s day. The shops and homes and agricultural areas along with kitchen implements and every day items are preserved along with monuments/forums/colosseum/amphitheater. Even the frescos and marble decorations are preserved in some places.
