I hadnt heard about this particular room and the tools. Fascinating. And, how sad. While I like classical architecture, I can visualize how difficult everyday life actually was. This also points out human ego and pride. Everyone, no matter the time, always thinks theyre "all that" or better-than-so-and-so. And now we get to actually see what little they actually possessed and you think, really?? A great history and present day lesson!!. Thank you for posting!!.

ROME — Traditionally, it has been held that the lives of ancient Pompeiians were tragically cut short on Aug. 24, A.D. 79, when Mount Vesuvius unleashed its fury, smothering Pompeii and other cities along its perimeter with volcanic debris.

A study by Italian authors made public on Thursday gives weight to theories that shift the date of the eruption by two months, to the end of October or even early November. It cites — among other evidence — the discovery during a recent site excavation of a charcoal inscription scrawled on a wall on Oct. 17, A.D. 79.

“That inscription is certainly dated after Aug. 24, ” the date used by generations of scholars, based on an account by the Roman author Pliny the Younger, who witnessed the eruption, said Giovanni P. Riccardi, an associate researcher of the Vesuvius Observatory of the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, and one of the authors of the study. The later dating, he added, confirmed other evidence that has emerged over the years challenging the August dating.

Question: How long would it have taken Pliny the Elder and the fleet to row across the bay? I've never been to the area, so I don't have a frame of reference.
