Re: Pompeii Bakery
Our guide also mentioned that in the pavement area there were minute crystals or cats eyes as we know them to guide walkers on dark nights . Also the average Roman was 5ft tall . I was so surprised . The museum in Naples is fantastic as a lot of the artefacts are there .An amazing place to see . Mount Vesuvius will blow again sometime as she is active . But I suppose they all think it wont be in their lifetime . I think nowadays the scientists can give early warnings for evacuation

Personally speaking, I much more inclined to believe a person who has devoted his/her life to the study of a particular subject.
