Pics of the day! (Taken Apr 2024) - Mt. Vesuvius! Per Google - "The mountain is technically composed of two peaks: the main cone of Vesuvius and the remaining caldera rim of an older, collapsed volcano known as Mount Somma."

Black and white photo of two female presenting people seen from behind (at a side angle) looking left and down over a wooden railing into an open space. They are standing on a dirt path. There is a large rock protruding from the ground behind them, framing them against the sky. You can't make out that it is a volcanic crater just by looking, but the shape of the rock and the contrast are cool and dramatic, if I do say so myself!
Possibly my favourite candid shot. Taken at Vesuvio in 2008.

Considering that the date of the 79 AD #eruption of #MtVesuvius is now up for debate, we really need to NOT simply accept decisions of previous "experts" . The whole fight over #Minoan culture is an example of this. 🤔 #Archaeology
The outline of a small hand amidst stick-figure gladiators.
"About 0.5 to 1.6 feet off the ground, depictions of gladiators, hunters, a ball game, a boxing match, and the head of a bird of prey were found, along with the outline of a small hand."
