House In Herculaneum, Italy


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   House In Herculaneum, Italy
House In Herculaneum, Italy
For PG 101 Ancient/Antique theme
Both Herculaneum and Pompeii were destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Because it was farther away, Herculaneum was affected a bit later and covered by a much deeper pyroclastic layer. This preserved more of the buildings. The wealthy house here has stunning mosaics and a "grotto" dedicated to "nymphs.
