Archaeologists uncovered over 200 craft workshops, revealing leather tanning, textile making, baking industries, and production of fish sauce, a staple of the local economy. First-century Pompeii was a metropolis of 15,000 people who enjoyed fast-food restaurants, political engagement (as seen by the copious displays of graffiti), and homes with frescoes and larariums, shrines to household gods.What more lies beneath to be revealed?Join us to find out!Dr. Rietveld is a professor at California State University, Fullerton, CA and Cal Poly, Pomona, CA of History, Anthropology and Religion.
