Carbonized Bread With Baker’s Stamp Survived The Vesuvius Eruption
It is common knowledge that Pompeii suffered destruction when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 A.D. The thick blanket of ash helped preserved a lot of people, homes, and artifacts, however. It is quite shocking to hear that so much stuff survived a burst of this kind. Take a look at this entire loaf of baked bread! The dense and round fresh loaf of bread has been cut into 8 individual pieces and comes with a baker’s stamp saying “Celer, slave of Quintus Granius Verus.” Honestly, it boggles the mind that a remnant of a tragic past has made it to the present! We don’t recommend tasting it, though.
