More details of Herculaneum

Pic. 1 is of a carved panel for a wall.

Pic. 2 is of an interesting room that contained food storage jugs. The audio guide indicated they contained chickpeas and beans. The original wood storage racks survived also.

Pic. 3 is of the same house but shows the wood storage loft. Above that was a second level. There was a brass leg of a bed visible on this level. You can also see that the second level was decorated with red.
