Some drawings that represented gladiators or hunterspainted by Small children with charcoal on the walls of a patio in one of the houses Pompeiithe city destroyed by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD, are the new discovery of the archaeological area of southern Italy.
The drawings were discovered in the house of the Cenacle, on the island of the ‘Chaste Lovers’, and help to better understand childhood in Roman times and exposure to extreme forms of violence, including young children (estimated between 5 and 7 years), explain the researchers of the archaeological zone.
The article describing the discovery explains that “in ancient times the blood spilled in the sand was real“but “that few saw it as a problem (for children to see it).”
On the ‘Castos Lovers’ island, where the discovery took place within the framework of a restoration project, an accessibility project has also begun and now can be visited “from above” thanks to a system of suspended walkways.
In addition to the children’s drawings, for the study of which the archaeological park has initiated a collaboration with the department of child neuropsychiatry of the Federico II University of Naples, “the remains of two victims are preserved, a woman and a man, who died during the eruption.”
“The journey from the heights will allow a innovative and global vision of the entire island as well as the architecture of the Roman houses with the alternation of various environments intended for different uses, from productive to commercial to residential, as well as the activity of work in progress, with a view to a renewed and better from the public,” they explained in a statement.
