    Posted: 25-Nov-2005 at 04:55

    I've been searching on the net and quite honestly I have not yet see any good sites with information regarding to occupation/jobs in pompeii and the lifestyle of the romans living in that area prior to the vesuvius eruption. This might be due to my poor surfing skills or my outright ignorance in using computers. I have also been busy to the point of sleeping only three hours a day this particualr week. Can any of you pls. provide me with good,informative internet sites with the archaeological evidence of pompei and herculaneum regarding daily roman life,jobs, lifestyle,etc. Thank you for you time and your esteemed concern.
There is no doubt, in fact, that the gods use certain men for the purpose of punishing the evil of others, turning them into slaughterers,before they, too, are destroyed

Pliny the Elder's Natural History:
What a handsome figure of a dragon. No wonder I fall madly in love with the Alani Dragon now, the avatar, it's a gorgeous dragon picture.
