FEATURE - Ein römisches Schnellrestaurant in der antiken Stadt Pompeji hat zum ersten Mal seit fast 2000 Jahren wieder geöffnet
A Roman fast food restaurant in the ancient city of Pompeii, Italy opened to the public again for the first time in almost 2000 years on Thursday (12 August 2021).
The Thermopolium of Regio V, an ancient snack bar, was unearthed during recent excavations in an area of the once buried city which had never been investigated before.
The Thermopolium served hot food and drinks stored in large dolia (jars) embedded in the masonry counter to patrons. They were a common sight in the Roman world, where it was customary for the middle and lower classes to eat out.
While there are at least 80 examples of Thermopolia in Pompeii alone, the Thermopolium of Regio V is notable for the exceptional decoration of the painted counter, featuring images of animals that were likely prepared and sold there - just like a modern fast food restaurant today.
Massimo Osanna, Italy’s Director General of Museums said the discoveries have, “provided a unique opportunity for interdisciplinary research which led to a greater understanding of the diet and daily life of Pompeians.”
He added: “A new visiting experience in an entirely new area of the site has been created for those who are returning to populate the streets of the ancient city.”
The commercial complex, located in an open space at the intersection between Pompeii’s Vicolo (alley) delle Nozze d’Argento and Vicolo dei Balcon, emerged at two different times. It was only partially investigated in 2019, during the work of the Great Pompeii Project to stabilise and consolidate the historical excavation fronts. Taking into account the exceptional nature of the decorations, and in order to restore the complete layout of the restaurant, in 2020 it was decided to prepare for a further intervention aimed at completing the excavation, with the restoration of the rooms and surviving decorative elements. A new wooden roof has also been constructed to protect the painted counter.

The Thermopolium of Regio V, an ancient snack bar, was unearthed during recent excavations in an area of the once buried city which had never been investigated before.
The Thermopolium served hot food and drinks stored in large dolia (jars) embedded in the masonry counter to patrons. They were a common sight in the Roman world, where it was customary for the middle and lower classes to eat out.
While there are at least 80 examples of Thermopolia in Pompeii alone, the Thermopolium of Regio V is notable for the exceptional decoration of the painted counter, featuring images of animals that were likely prepared and sold there - just like a modern fast food restaurant today.
Massimo Osanna, Italy’s Director General of Museums said the discoveries have, “provided a unique opportunity for interdisciplinary research which led to a greater understanding of the diet and daily life of Pompeians.”
He added: “A new visiting experience in an entirely new area of the site has been created for those who are returning to populate the streets of the ancient city.”
The commercial complex, located in an open space at the intersection between Pompeii’s Vicolo (alley) delle Nozze d’Argento and Vicolo dei Balcon, emerged at two different times. It was only partially investigated in 2019, during the work of the Great Pompeii Project to stabilise and consolidate the historical excavation fronts. Taking into account the exceptional nature of the decorations, and in order to restore the complete layout of the restaurant, in 2020 it was decided to prepare for a further intervention aimed at completing the excavation, with the restoration of the rooms and surviving decorative elements. A new wooden roof has also been constructed to protect the painted counter.

FEATURE - Ein römisches Schnellrestaurant in der antiken Stadt Pompeji hat zum ersten Mal seit fast 2000 Jahren wieder geöffnet
A Roman fast food restaurant in the ancient city of Pompeii, Italy opened to the public again for the first time in almost 2000 years on Thursday (12 August 2021).
The Thermopolium of Regio V, an ancient snack bar, was unearthed during recent excavations in an area of the once buried city which had never been investigated before.
The Thermopolium served hot food and drinks stored in large dolia (jars) embedded in the masonry counter to patrons. They were a common sight in the Roman world, where it was customary for the middle and lower classes to eat out.

Yemen: Aden's changing alliances erupt into four-year conflict's newest front. Fighting in the south between separatists and government forces points to why peace is even more elusive.
Yemen: Aden's changing alliances erupt into four-year conflict's newest front. Fighting in the south between separatists and government forces points to why peace is even more elusive. The civil war has become a devastating proxy conflict and the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. The Yemeni Civil War is an ongoing conflict that began in 2015 between two factions: the Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi led Yemeni government and the Houthi armed movement, along with their supporters and allies. Both claim to constitute the official government of Yemen. Pictured: A family sits in the ruins of the Sheba Temple near Ma'rib, on 6 September, 2019.
