it's, i think, the biggest with a perfectly preserved found here in pompeii, in a private home. that discovery�*s helping us to imagine roman life. there's a set sequence of rooms in the bathhouse, and you'd start in here — the hot room. you'd take a dip, first of all. and this floor is actually

a suspended floor — allowing hot air to flow underneath. and you can see, in the wall, and you can see, in the wall, there's a cavity where there's a cavity where warmth would circulate. warmth would circulate. next up, you have the warm next up, you have the warm room, where oil would be rubbed room, where oil would be rubbed into your skin and then scraped into your skin and then scraped off using a special off using a special instrument called a strigil. instrument called a strigil. then come with me through this then come with me through this narrow doorway, and emerge narrow doorway, and emerge into a changing room. into a changing room. you'd sit down on one of these of a bed, and a younger man — benches, where you'd remove your sandals, remove your sandals, then you would cross then you would cross this mosaic floor — this mosaic floor — which is dotted with marble from across the roman empire — which is dotted with marble before you emerge into the extraordinary cold room, the extraordinary cold room, where you'd take a plunge. where you'd take a plunge. an entire block has an entire block has now been unearthed. at the front is now been unearthed. at the front is a bakery and laundry. a bakery and laundry. at the back, the grand at the back, the grand residence — with a banqueting residence — with a banqueting hall known as the black room, hall known as the black room, as well as the bath complex. close by, in a smaller room, a stark discovery was made. the remains of a woman,

aged between 35 and 50, were found lying on the edge as well as the bath complex.

and intricately etched gemstones — one showing the god mercury. what emotion does it provoke when you find personal objects like this? it is a great emotion because when we found this kind of object, the distance from ancient times and modern times disappears, and we can touch a small piece of the life of these people. also in the room with the skeletons, there was a marble table with an assortment of pots, jugs and bowls, and an unusual lamp. the handle has the shape of a moon. the moon is something that ancient romans used to give to ladies, to protect the fertility, to protect the feminine. the excavation here is now coming to an end. but even in its final weeks, traces of these lost roman lives continue to emerge from the volcanic ash.
