Macellum, Pompeii, Italy
Detail of a statue in the Macellum, on July 3, 2007, Pompeii, Italy. The statue portraying the Emperor Nero as a young man, is situated in the Sacellum also called Imperial shrine. It is within the Macellum, Pompeii's covered food market which is on the North East of the Forum, and dating from the 2nd century BC. Pompeii was seriously damaged by an earthquake in 62AD and engulfed by Volcanic ash after a major eruption of Mount Vesuvius in August 79AD. It lay almost undisturbed until archaeologists started to excavate it seriously in the 18th century.
