Quick Summary
Archaeologists have discovered new evidence that Pompeii, the ancient Roman city destroyed by the 79 AD eruption of Mount Vesuvius, was reoccupied by survivors and others after the disaster. The reoccupation is believed to have been an informal settlement with people living in precarious conditions, using the upper floors of old houses and converting the former ground floors into cellars with ovens and mills. This new finding sheds light on a previously overlooked period in Pompeii’s history, revealing a complex and fascinating story of resilience and adaptation in the face of catastrophic destruction.
