A recent discovery in Pompeii found two unfortunate inhabitants who apparently died wealthy. Or at least with spending cash for their inadvertent unscheduled vacation on the Mediterranean coast, for which they did not make the cruise departure.
As for all of the residents of Pompeii who perished in the cataclysmic eruption of Vesuvius, it was a sad and likely frightening ending to their lives. I am glad we live in a time when there should be sufficiently interpretable signals that a massive eruption is going to take place, allowing residents to hopefully evacuated safely. I say this knowing that Naples and vicinity sit on top of a number of volcanic features that could potentially wreak their geologic havoc on the nearby neighborhoods. So, my advice to the local residents of one of these features really starts acting up, surely repeated by many of the governmental officials in the area:
GET OUT OF TOWN.
Two bodies unearthed in ancient Pompeii with ‘small cache of treasure’
"The small room [where the two victims were found] was probably used as a temporary bedroom during the renovation of the wider house, archaeologists believe. The impressions left in the ash by decomposed organic matter have made it possible to reconstruct the furnishings by casting the voids and therefore identify “their exact position at the time of the eruption,” the statement from the park said."
