Archaeologists Exploring Pompeii Have Unearthed A 2000 Year Old Fast Food Joint

This once-thriving city of Pompeii on Italy's west coast was completely destroyed in 79 A.D. when Mount Vesuvius erupted nearby, burying it behind a thick layer of ash and stone. Even though the eruption took place about two thousand years ago, the town, including its structures and, in some cases, its residents, was preserved in a way that was never before possible.

Since the first excavation, Pompeii has been the longest continuously excavated site ever discovered. Some areas remain a mystery, with a third of the city still buried. Every day archaeologists looking for new discoveries are treated to some extraordinary finds.

Pompeii
This town, founded by the Oscans in the 7th century B.C., was at the center of an important crossroads between the Greek towns of Cumae, Nola, and Stabiea. Pompeii is located on the west coast of Italy along the shores of the Bay of Naples, south of the modern-day city of Naples was an independent town until she fell under the influence of Rome in the 2nd century B.C. and eventually became an attraction for wealthy Roman vacationers who enjoyed the Campania coastline.
