So, I wonder what they say?

- “Keeping It In The Family” by Julia and Gius “Little Boots” Caesar?
- Claudius’s history?
- “Cooking With Mushrooms” by Agrippina Junior?
- “Lyrics from the Nerona”?
- “Tactics” by M. S. Otho?
- “Appealing To The Crowd” by Aulus Vitellius

We can only wonder.

[Dustbunny]

If this works, it will be interesting to hear of what they have discovered.

[spyone]

I think I remember that this villa was owned by Caesar’s father in law(Piso?). It would be fantastic if all these documents could eventually be read.

[YOUGOTIT]

Thank you for the post. I have toured Herculaneum and most of the former Roman villas in Baia, Bacoli, Pozzuoli and the surrounding countryside, many, many times over the last 40 years. I hope that the scrolls can be read as some may be copies of the library at Alexander in Egypt.

[Rurudyne]

Cool stuff!

Well, cool now. At this moment. Not being cool earlier is sorta part of the problem.

Or is that our opportunity?

Maybe both.

[Ciexyz]

Wonderful news.
