NEW DISCOVERY AT THE POMPEII RUINS: RESURFACES A THERMOPOLY OF THE REGIO V
Perfectly preserved with the image of a sea nymph on horseback and animals with bright colors. In the containers there are still traces of food that were sold in the street: the ancient “Street food”.
Another extraordinary discovery in Pompeii. In the new excavations, resumed within the maintenance and restoration project of Regio V, it resurfaces a perfectly preserved Thermopolio with the image of a sea nymph on horseback and animals with bright and bright colors.But what is amazing is the discovery in the containers of Thermopolio of traces of food that were sold in the street.
The thermopoles, where drinks and hot foods were served, as the name of Greek origin indicates, preserved in large dolias (jars) embedded in the masonry counter, were very common in the Roman world, where it was customary to consume prandium (the meal) outside the house that they bought on the street and consumed standing. A real gastronomic approach “street food”, a bar-diner from two thousand years ago. In Pompeii alone there are about eighty, but none with the bar entirely painted, confirming the exceptional nature of the discovery.
Traces of food have been found – thanks to excavations that have given a great boost in recent years to the archaeological site of Campania – too. The specialists of the Archaeological Park of Pompeii are already studying the material to verify how much this discovery can widen the knowledge about the eating habits of the Roman age.
The commercial plant where Termopolio resurfaced was only partially investigated in 2019, during the interventions of the Great Pompeii Project for the safety and consolidation of the historic excavation fronts.
The decorations of the counter – the first emerged from the excavation – present on the front the image of a Nereid riding in a marine environment and, on the shorter side, the illustration probably of the same workshop as a commercial sign. At the time of the excavation, the discovery of amphorae placed in front of the counter reflected the painted image.
In this new phase of excavation have emerged other valuable scenes of still lifes with representations of animals, probably slaughtered and sold in the room. Bone fragments, relevant to the animals themselves, were also found in containers made from the thickness of the counter containing food for sale. Like the two ducks exposed upside down, ready to be prepared and consumed, a rooster and a dog on a leash.
Another interesting fact is the discovery of human bones, found partially upset by the passage of tunnels made in modern times by clandestine excavators in search of precious objects. Some of them belong to an individual of at least 50 years old who was probably, at the time of the arrival of the pyroclastic current, placed on a bed of which traces remain.
Other bones, still to be investigated, belong to another individual and have been found inside a large dolio, perhaps always stored here by the first diggers. Also in Termopolio was found different material from pantry and transport: nine amphorae, a bronze Earth, two flasks, a common ceramic olla for canteen. The floor plan of the entire room consists of a layer of cocciopesto (waterproof coating composed of terracotta fragments), in which in some places were inserted fragments of polychrome marble (alabaster, door holder, green breccia and bardiglio).
