Excavation of ancient Pompeii revealed a beautiful private bathroom

Excavators have discovered a beautiful private bath in Pompeii, a site that reveals the wealth and grandeur of the ancient Roman city before it was destroyed by Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, the site said on Friday.

The bathrooms, with hot, hot and cold rooms, accommodate up to 30 guests, allowing them to relax before heading into the black-walled banquet hall decorated with scenes from Greek mythology.

Italy’s ancient Pompeii park cracks down on visitors every day to combat over-tourism.

Excavations over the past two years have revealed the complex’s grand residences, revealing the vibrant social life of a city that flourished before Vesuvius buried it under a thick, suffocating blanket of ash.

A central courtyard with a large basin adds to the charm of the house, which is believed to have belonged to Pompeii’s elite in its final years.

“This discovery emphasizes how Roman houses were more than private residences, they were stages for public life and self-promotion,” said Gabriel Zukrigel, director of the Archaeological Park of Pompeii.

According to Zuckerberg, the setting is reminiscent of scenes from the Roman novel “The Satyricon,” where banquets and baths were displays of wealth and status.

Adorned with frescoes, the complex draws inspiration from Greek culture, emphasizing themes of leisure and learning.

“The homeowner wanted to create a scene by turning their house into a Greek-style palace and gymnasium,” Zukriegel said.

The remains of more than 1,000 victims were excavated at Pompeii. Among them, two corpses in a private residence with a bathroom – a woman between 35-50 years old, who was carrying jewelry and coins, and a young man.

The discovery of their remains was made public last year.
