Archaeologists make ‘once-in-a-century’ discovery at Pompeii | BBC News


A "once-in-a-century" find has been unearthed in Pompeii after lying hidden for more than 2,000 years.

Archaeologists discovered a private bathhouse – potentially the largest ever found there – complete with hot, warm and cold rooms, exquisite artwork, and even a huge plunge pool.

The skeletons of a woman and a man were found in the house – the former discovered clutching a bag of coins and jewellery.

They had barricaded themselves into a small room, but were killed as a tsunami of superheated volcanic gas and ash – known as a pyroclastic flow – ripped through the town.
