Seemingly owning kitchens, at least a whole kitchen within cities, was rich people stuff.

Based on the last few FP posts, those folks really liked mallard. People like duck now, so why not? These discoveries are always amazing.

The funny thing is, it would have been possible to see it if the trade was learned from the middle east
superanth
They might just have learned it that way. There was regular trade with the Eastern Empire.

I bet at least one of those pots had feta in it.

That dog is a warning sign that they send dogs after thieves

Call me crazy or a liar but... I've been to Pompeii, and I remember seeing that... It was super cool! Unless it's a 2nd one....

I'm sure they'll excavate more of Pompeii and they'll find it.

Dog before where much beefier than today where they have a hard time to breath

That's true but that thing looks like it has hooves.

The painting of the dog has a leash too. Wouldn't want it to run away.

It is really incredible to see an every day scene like this, from then. The paintings on display are so impressive and modern looking>
clonvermin
this sort of thing really serves to remind you that we are very much the same now, as we were 2000 years ago.
asm80dfa8sdfj
I mean I think most of the "old" art is stylized. If you're painting a chicken on your stall you probably don't want a Picasso chicken
clonvermin
What I really find crazy is that I doubt this is the work of some big name historical artist, and the art work is still very good and>
clonvermin
realistic. It is crazy to me that during the dark ages work like this just went entirely out the window. Even the “artists” of the time>

were unable to paint like this. Human history is just so fascinating haha

I'm guessing Rome was a lot more colorful than is usually represented.

It's not Rome, it's Pompei.

This statue of Augustus is a good example of what they looked like:
WokeGhettoSpiritualist
A lot of the marble statues you see were once painted intricately, but when the British discovered them they stripped them. Same w/ Egypt.
theguywiththevoice
Most paint does not last 2,000 years. Most of those pure white statues had paint originally.
Tehsyr
You should play Assassin's Creed Odyssey when you get the chance. Good representation.
OohReilly
They had access to a wider variety of almost any of their contemporaries, and they loved to use them. They popularized purple
bearsandbeers
All the marble statues were painted!
HighrockTendales
No it was a city the size of hong kong made out of solid marble with torches everywhere and everything was white. Have you seen Gladiator?
notallfluffycatsarethick
Even colourful in language: “NICIA CINAEDE CACATOR” was scrawled on the dog fresco. I don’t know why only a handful of news reported that /s
pandasmakemehappy
Most places are. India and Mexico for example are always depicted as being orange as fuck, but they're not
wallschmall
Mexico is more of a yellow haze compared to the orange haze of India, trust me I know... I’ve seen movies about both.
kanihaznaiph
World-wide kind of thing, but yeah a lot of places were actually so colorful it would have been considered comically gaudy by today's views
somethinsomethin
Same with Greece, those marble statues were painted.
967Evil
People had a lot of time on their hands .
phobos535
Assassins Creed Odyssey made a pretty nice job at showing what ancient Greece might have looked like
MissNY
Can still see remnants of brightly painted decorations on outer & inner walls & bright mosaic tiling at Pompeii. I'm sure it was beautiful.
blaghart
Rome, the HBO series, did a good job of showcasing that
Everythingstaken0
Most of history is way more colorful than hollywood shows. Look at period depictions of medieval battles. Those dudes were ostentatious AF.
ElbowDeepInAPoliceState
Yeah. Pigments were expensive, and so served as a powerful way to flex your wealth. It's why the 1600s and on French army wore lots of blue
Idontwantausernameimgur
It's the same with the castles in England, they were all plastered on the outside and painted. We just see them now just as a stone finish.
Idontwantausernameimgur
Same with English churches, they were all painted with biblical stories and saints.
JustAPileOfCats
The church in Pickering, North Yorkshire, has beautiful surviving biblical murals. Well worth a visit. The game Kingdom Come: Deliverance
JustAPileOfCats
depicts churches as vividly painted places, too.
postalval
it made sense as the majority couldn't read, puritans ruined a lot, they stripped the churches and blew up the castles after the civil war
marteney1
Probably a lot more graffiti on the walls than usually depicted too. With properly-conjugated verbs, no less.

It really was. Statues were brightly painted, but none of the paint made it through to the present so we remember Rome as grey and bland.
purgethefilthyheretics
Rome with white marble is more aesthetic and vibes better than a painted Rome imo
AnathemaNoreh
And so many buildings were covered in marble and art but it was all stripped and sold or reused. The Colosseum used to be beautiful
StubbDubya
Unfortunately, when it is uncovered the aging process will fade it pretty quickly.
weidermeijer
The paint has worn off the white marble statues. Should have used a primer.

It's like they didn't even have Citadel 'Ardcoat back then.
Dinos91
Yep. And they had 4 floor wooden apartment buildings in Rome too. A lot of it never makes it into popular representations.
TheChickenEyes
Picks or it didn’t happen
Krakencrotch
Yeah, the insulae, innit
GoatKun
there was one dude on twitter that insisted all roman buildings were stone/marble and the people lived in smaller versions of the coloseeum
MajArc0
And from now on I'll be insisting so too.
HungryHungryLawStudent
They had apartments in the slums that went up 6 stories, but they had no fire escapes until the early imperial period

Yeah, it does seem to not be in the same picture as the menu. And they loved triptychs.
Zorrodidnothingwrong
You're right: Cave Canem-Beware Of The Dog was a common sign in ancient Rome.
Higure
I heard that particular sign was believed to be a reminder to keep dogs leashed. At any rate, they did find a dog skeleton.

That dog is scary af
SisyphusAndRock
Looks like they just shaved a wolf

I do wonder what dog breeds were like 2000 years ago, surely none of this modern crazyness

They would have been bred for hunting or security and been big enough to bring down people or animals on a regular basis
