Evening Republican, Volume 22, Number 265, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 November 1919 — Pompeiian Discoveries Include “Thermopolium.” [ARTICLE]

Pompeiian Discoveries Include “Thermopolium.”

The recent excavations of Pompeii tn the ancient “Street of Abundance" have resulted in such extensive finds that the life of the street can be almost entirely reconstructed. The principal discovery is that of a huge “thermopolium.” a kind 1 - of public house. This is in, a state of perfect preservation, and an exact idea can now be obtained vt a Roman place of refreshment. There is a long row of wine jars so’placed' that it seems the vintner was in the act of pouring wine from one into the other when overtaken by the catastrophe.
