The people of Pompeii, as depicted in frescoes, mosaics, and archaeological findings, had a diverse appearance typical of ancient Romans, characterized by Mediterranean features. They wore clothing made from wool and linen, including tunics for men and stolas for women, often adorned with colorful patterns. Hairstyles varied, with women often sporting elaborate styles, while men typically kept their hair shorter. Overall, they reflected the cultural influences of the Roman Empire, with a blend of local and Greco-Roman styles.
A fresco is created by painting colored pigments (oil, traditionally) into wet plaster.
Pompey was founded because towns are founded because people decide to create settlements.
Giuseppe Fiorelli was an archaeologist, who made major contributions to the study of Pompeii. He trained archaeologists in the layer by layer method of unearthing, thus preserving artifacts. He initiated a method of uncovering the houses of Pompeii from the top down to the street, minimizing any loss or further damage to the buildings. He is most famous for developing the plaster casts of the people, animals and plants that were covered in ash thereby giving us the lifelike features of the victims.
Pompeii was not a city where wealthy people went. It was an average, working, Roman town. Not to say that there were not wealthy people living in Pompeii, there were, just as in any other city, but they were generally the people who made their wealth in Pompeii and so belonged to the city's upper class. The wealthy went to the city of Herculaneum or to Stabiae or Oplontis, which were resort towns.
Stone houses, with flat rooves and hand-made bricks.
Boat, foot, horse, mule, wagon. The volcano erupted in 79 so after that no one went there. You can still see the ruts that the wagon wheels made in Pompeii.
