Children's Violent Gladiator Drawings Unearthed in Pompeii

Archaeologists in Pompeii have discovered charcoal sketches by children, depicting violent scenes such as gladiator fights, likely witnessed in the city's amphitheatre. These naive drawings, found on a house wall, suggest that even young children were exposed to extreme violence. Other recent finds include a unique portrait of a hooded child with a dog, and a black-walled dining hall with mythological paintings, all part of ongoing excavations in the ancient city destroyed by Mount Vesuvius nearly 2,000 years ago.
