The storage room.

Civita giuliana - A few days ago the small house of a family of slaves was found, facing the portico of the Villa, outside the perimeter walls of ancient Pompeii. The materials of the furnishings were decomposable and by leaving a void in the ash, it was possible to obtain the cast with plaster. You can see the prints of the blankets on the three cots, the tools for the work, such as the rudder of the wagon, small bowls and the chamber pot.

A window on the roof illuminated the small room which was darkened with deadly ash in the eruption of 79 AD. C. The Villa was an agricultural residence of which the stables were previously found, where an entire horse was traced, and a sumptuously decorated wedding carriage. The patient work of archaeologists has brought to light the daily life of slaves, as well as their intimate environments and customs. Some larger amphorae are placed in a corner of the small room, a tangible sign of respect and attachment to work, the only source of survival.
