A “once-in-a-century” find has been unearthed in Pompeii after lying hidden for 2,000 years.
Archaeologists have discovered a private bathhouse complete with hot, warm and cold rooms, exquisite artwork and a huge plunge pool.
“It’s these spaces that really are part of the ‘Pompeii effect’ – it’s almost as if the people had only left a minute ago,” says Dr Gabriel Zuchtriegel, director of the Archaeological Park of Pompeii, reports News.
Two skeletons were also found in the house and analysis revealed the horrors that the city’s inhabitants faced when Mount Vesuvius erupted back in AD79. They had barricaded themselves into a small room but were killed by the pyroclastic flow – a fast-moving, destructive current of hot gas and ash – that ripped through the town.
