Le petit Pompeii

[Duncan Head]

A Roman neighbourhood unearthed in Vienne has been dubbed "a little Pompeii" - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/aug/02/france-archaeologists-uncover-little-pompeii-south-of-lyon

Appending a Pompeiian epithet seems fashionable: the unearthed remains of incinerated buildings at Peterborough we considered earlier are now being referred to as a 'Bronze Age Pompeii'.

Still, nice that these things are being found.  Thanks, Duncan.

for anyone interested in the area in general then 'Roman Provence' by Edwin Mullins is very accessible and enjoyable - a cross between a travelogue and a history of the area
