| Monday we visited the archeological site of Pompeii, a city which had once been home to 20,000 inhabitants. Walking the streets of these well-preserved ruins gave us a feeling for Roman daily life 2000 years ago. Everywhere we could see the existence of a well-developed society with organized streets, water and sewage systems, impressive gymnasium and public baths with rooms for cold, warm, and hot baths, fast-food restaurants, bakery, laundry, market, trade shops, theaters, amphitheater, and much more. We were quite impressed. The splendor that was the Roman Empire was visibility present in the ruins of Pompeii. |
