A room with many of the artifacts found in Pompeii.
A mosaic on the floor of someone's house depicting some famous battle. Apparently when intact, the mosaic had a million pieces.

The team of archaeologists who discovered or at least were the first to excavate Pompeii discovered these strange holes filled with bones underneath the ash. Their leader had the good sense to make plaster casts of the indentations. What resulted were a number of these plaster skeletons of people in the position they were in when Vesuvius erupted. In fact, you can even see the look on this poor man's face.
