The counter of a city thermopolium, a popular fast food stall in ancient Rome, has been unearthed in a state of repair.


It is almost 2000 years old and it is almost intact.

Archaeologists have finished unearthing the counter of a fast food stall at the archaeological site of Pompeii.

These restaurants were particularly popular in ancient Rome and Pompeii had no less than 80 such businesses.

Frozen by volcanic ash, the frescoes adorning the table have kept their colors and food remains were discovered in the bowls of the counter.

An exceptional testimony to the gastronomy and the daily life of the inhabitants of the city.

Human bones were also found in the stall, suggesting that a man was trapped inside the store during the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD.
