I read Paige's and John's blog posts about Pompeii.
Paige described the four styles of paintings found in the Roman empire. They were represented in Pompeii. It's interesting that the latest style, with lots of ornamentation, would have been used in some of the repairs that took place after the last earthquake before the eruption.
John's blog is titled "The Time Capsule." It's an apt title as it sums up exactly what happened at Pompeii. To be able to understand how Romans lived during that time is such a major contribution to our knowledge of the ancient world.
