Fragments of painted plaster from recent excavations, showing how bright the colors are when they emerge from the ground. Sad that the ones excavated in the 1700s have faded so much.

More paintings.The lower one has acquired the name, Still Life with Pizza

Overhead view of a recently uncovered commercial bakery.

The Lararium of House X in Regio IX.

And the remains of the last offering in the Lararium altar: dates and figs burned with olive pits and pine cones as the fuel, topped with a whole egg.

Mural from the Baths.

Some delightful painted "wallpaper."
