I'm visiting a city that was covered by volcanic ash when a volcano erupted back in 79 A.D. You can still see the
extinct volcano in the distance. Now excavated, this "unburied" city is a popular tourist site. Walking around the city,
you can see a bakery with bread still in the oven -- just as it was when the volcano suddenly erupted. One house even
has a "Beware of Dog" mosaic at the door entrance. As I walked the stone streets, I saw that every so often three
raised stones were positioned. The stones were originally placed there for two reasons: The first reason was to help
people cross the street without getting their feet covered in waste water; there were no underground sewers back
then. The second reason was to prevent attacks from neighboring areas; only people in the city knew the dimensions
to build their chariots so they could pass through those streets!
