Viggen Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 A very good report about a Surgeon's House in Pompei, with plans, panoram view and interesting details. The House of the Surgeon was brought to light when Spaniard Francesco La Vega cleared the central zone of our city block of ash and lapilli in the 1770s. Characterised by its large limestone blocks and architectural layout, the structurally impressive house captured the interest of early visitors and scholars alike. It was in these early days of clearance that a set of sophisticated Roman surgical instruments was found in the house. Questions of who may have once lived here were seemingly answered--this was the House of the Surgeon! more at Archaeology Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
