Description
"Brick Ovens Pompeii" by Debbie Oppermann. It was quite exciting to visit the ruins of Pompeii in Italy. To see how the people lived so many centuries before us was an amazing experience. Apparently, commercial bread making was popular centuries ago as there were approximately 35 bakeries found in the ruins and one oven still had 80 loaves of bread in it. I don't know if this particular image was from a house or a bakery.The ruins of the ancient Roman city of Pompeii, which was destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, is located near modern Naples in Italy. Buried under tons of ash, the city was lost for about 1,500 years until its initial rediscovery in 1599. When the site was excavated, starting from the middle of the 18th century, archaeologists discovered hundreds of buildings. Pompeii Italy is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
