House of Treasures
The latest findings as the biggest archaeological dig in Pompeii for a generation reaches its climax. Told through the drama of the dig and stylised, fresco-inspired animations, House of Treasures continues to paint a vivid picture of what life was like in Pompeii, as well as the horror faced by the residents as the volcano erupted in AD 79.\n\nThe focus of the excavation moves from a cluster of commercial buildings, which include a lucrative bakery and stylish laundry, to an adjacent luxurious residence, possibly owned by Pompeiian big-wig and local politician Aulus Rustius Verus.
