The very nature of the destruction of Pompeji & Herculaneum has offered an insight into Roman every-day life that other archaeological sites do not share. Trying to determine which is the most important evidence, this essay looks at some of the types of evidence that have been found almost exclusively at these sites and the context they have been provided with, as well as the more detailed architectural remains, e.g. breads, flowers, political slogans written on walls etc.
