O my poor Kingdom,
Sick with civil blows
Peopled with WOLVES,
Thy old inhabitants...

Dwellers At Herculaneum AD 79
The baker Terentius Neo and his wife (AD 55 - 79) are shown in this beautiful villa wall painting preserved by the ash flow from the eruption of Vesuvius which buried Herculaneum in AD 79. A handsome couple.
