"From their findings, archaeologists determined that the owner of this residence had clearly been of great wealth and that they had a strong attachment to Roman culture. This only raises more questions, though, given the home's distance from the city's forum and its presence in the more humid, damp part of town."

Gentrification, obviously. This was a lively, vibrant community until the toffs started to move in with their villa and their bronze statuettes...
