The details of one of the decorated cups and silver platters unearthed from the ruins of the 2,000 year old volcanic eruption of ancient Pompeii is shown in a handout photo released in Rome, July 18, 2005. Italian archaeologists on Monday displayed a dining set found in the ruins of a thermal bath in Pompeii, scene of an eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. which killed thousands while filling and preserving the town with ash.

What an incredible find! I'm still trying to find out if the Turkish government flooded a valley which contained some incredible remains of Troy/Constantinople.
