Pompeii

taken up by the bacteria and used to produce organic nutrients which are supplied directly to the worm (“Extremes of Eel City” 2005). Alvinella pompejana, the Pompeii worm has a similar symbiotic relationship except these worms actually possess a digestive track. Instead of living in the worm’s body cavity, microbes live directly on the Pompeii worm’s plume; which is also dyed red from hemoglobin. The hemoglobin/hydrogen sulfide combination works in the same way except the worm then properly…

you are doing and will do anything to stop you just like Cassius is doing to Caesar. Caesar, he was at war and had a very powerful army. After the war he set out, on his return and he kills Pompeii. So the people loved Caesar and wanted him to become king. However Cassius, a man who was very loyal to Pompeii hated Caesar. He does not want him to become king, because he thinks he is too powerful and will destroy what Rome is. Cassius is loyal to Rome and wants Caesar dead, even though…

Evaluate the impact of the construction of the Colosseum, otherwise known as the Amphitheatrum Flavium, on the Roman Empire. The Colosseum, or Amphitheatrum Flavium, is the largest amphitheatre in the world, and was constructed from 70-79AD by Emperor Vespasian as a gift to the Roman people, before its completion by his successor and heir Titus in 80AD. Within it, a multitude of games and events were staged for the many days of celebration within the Roman calendar, as well as events for public…

Mount Vesuvius – Italy Hypothesis: The impact of active volcanoes overlooking settlements pose as huge threats. With eruptions of volcanoes comes mud, ash and rocks leading to settlements being buried under the debris. Volcanoes also lead to lava flows and ash-and-gas explosions which damage and destroy many settlements/towns around the volcano. In worst case scenarios, eruptions of volcanoes lead to death of people and wildlife. Therefore we can deduct that a volcano is a geographical problem…

to the city of Pompeii. Because it took years to get the city back to what is was before the eruption, the city’s economy was greatly impacted by the eruption. The amount of deaths that were directly related to the eruption also had an impact on the economy. Skilled individuals and labors were needed from nearby towns to help rebuild the city. The last time that Mount Vesuvius erupted was in 1944 and was estimated to have killed 30,000 people in the two towns Herculaneum and Pompeii. This…

various literary documents and artifacts. One of the aspects that over time has provided historians with a perplexing definition of the relationship between sexuality and Roman everyday life was the erotic frescoes situated in the Suburban Baths of Pompeii. This imagery in a sense proposed that sexual practices were a natural constitute of normal Roman society. In this essay through analysis of these frescoes, I will examine how images of taboo sex acts in the Suburban Baths accentuate the…

The sky is turning black, not the soft, velvet, black fabric of the night with white embedded pearls. No, this is a demonic, black shadow, looming over Pompeii. This is the shadow looming over Flavia, Drusilla, and countless others. It stays there, effortlessly. Then flakes of hot, burning cinders, trailing streaks of red in the pitch-black darkness rain down onto the ground. Rocks still pelt them as everybody…

Throwing a coin in the Trevi Fountain in Rome, I made a promise to the Numenii to become an archaeologist. My last night in Italy, I stayed awake listening to Florence's Duomo and I knew there was no other option. Living an ocean away from what I love is difficult. I can get close, but never close enough. After reading about the bog bodies of Northern Europe, I wanted to understand bog mummification. With the nearest bog 4,000 miles away, I made my own. Researching the science of the bogs…

peoples graves were looted and emptied years ago and with them the remains of often disappeared. The study bears a stark contrast to a similar study carried out on the petrified Roman skeletons of Pompeii, a city of expensive villas and plus domuses which was buried by erupting Vesuvius in 79 AD. The Pompeii study demonstrated the good health of the city-s inhabitants enjoyed by the city's wealthy inhabitants, thanks to a life free from hard labour and a strong diet. But what do the skeletons…
