New Pompeii earthquake victims discovered in recent archaeological dig.

Archaeologists in Pompeii have discovered the well-preserved remains of two men believed to have died in an earthquake that accompanied the infamous volcanic eruption almost 1,500 years ago. The skeletons were found beneath a collapsed wall in the House of Chaste Lovers. Evidence suggests the wall crumbled during an earthquake that shook the area as Mount Vesuvius buried the Roman city under volcanic material in October 79 AD. The men, believed to have been around 55 years old, were likely trying to flee the ash and lava by sheltering in an unused utility room when the wall collapsed.
