In the ancient Roman city of Pompeii, which was destroyed by a volcanic eruption, a well-preserved bar counter, painted with frescoes, was found. This is reported by the BBC.
This counter, known as a thermopoly, sold food and hot drinks to the inhabitants of the city. It is a kind of modern fast food. A counter with colorful frescoes and terracotta jugs opened in 2019 and was shown this Saturday. The paintings on the counter are believed to represent food offered to customers, particularly chicken and duck. Traces of pork, fish, snails and veal were also found in jars and other containers. It should be noted that from next year it will be available to visitors.
The archaeological complex, located 23 kilometers southeast of Naples, is currently closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, but hopes to reopen it for Easter.
The city of Pompeii was destroyed by the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79 mi. The eruption covered Pompeii with a thick layer of ash, making the city well preserved and a rich source for archaeologists. It should be noted that about a third of the ancient city has yet to be excavated.
