The lap of luxury
Article Abstract:
Excavations of an inn at Agro Murecine are described, destroyed by the same eruption in 70 AD which destroyed Pompeii. First evidence of the inn emerged more than 40 years ago, when bulldozers used during road construction struck the frescoed walls. Writing tablets known collectively as the Sulpicii Archives have been among the most important finds at the site.
