A huge joy of 2018 were the discoveries from the new excavations of Region V, #Pompeii. Thanks to the generosity of @MassimoOsanna & the Grande Progetto Pompei team at @pompeii_sites we were given a privileged & vibrant glimpse into Pompeian life & death. nitter.gq/pompei79/status/975995โ€ฆ
Had the great honour of talking to @pompeii_sites Director General, @MassimoOsanna, at the site of his new excavations: the first in 20 years to entirely dig through the 4 metres of ash and pumice stones from the AD 79 eruption. Such an exciting project to watch unfold. #Pompeii
