Excavations, Civita Giuliana, Pompeii, Campania, Italy
Excavations in a dwelling in Civita Giuliana, a suburb of Pompeii North of the city walls, in the Parco Archeologico di Pompei, or Archaeological Park of Pompeii, Campania, Italy. A new phase of official excavations has been taking place here since 2017 in an attempt to stop looters from digging tunnels and removing artefacts for sale. Pompeii was a Roman city which was buried in ash after the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. The site is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Credit : Parco Archeologico di Pompei / Manuel Cohen
