guy Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 (edited) As the world opens up, many of us will be making travel plans. These images of the Pompeii granary site are enticing. (Thanks Nina Willburger @DrNWillburger for bringing these images to my attention.) Quote “ FORUM GRANARY They stretch on the western side of the Forum with eight openings separated by brick pillars and were used as for the fruit and vegetable market (Forum Holitorium). Today they form the greatest archaeological inventory of the city and have more than 9000 artefacts from the excavations in Pompeii and its territory since the end of the 19th century. They preserve the terracotta crockery that was used in the last decades of life of the city for every day activities, such as pots and pans for cooking, jugs and bottles, and amphorae, large containers used to transport oil, wine and fish sauce throughout the Mediterranean.“ http://pompeiisites.org/en/archaeological-site/forum-granary/ Edited August 27, 2021 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
