Archaeologists in Pompeii have uncovered the remains of two more victims from the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.

These recent findings were revealed during ongoing excavations in the ancient Italian city, according to an article published on Monday by E-Journal. The news was shared by the agency, based on a report from the ANSA news agency.

The skeletal remains belong to a man and a woman who sought refuge in a bedroom during the eruption that buried the thriving Roman city under layers of volcanic ash and pumice. The remains were discovered in a building located in Regio IX, a central area of Pompeii.

The woman’s remains were found lying on a bed alongside a small collection of gold, silver, and bronze coins, as well as jewelry, including gold and pearl earrings. ANSA reports that the room where the couple was found was a temporary bedroom used during renovations in the house. This room is situated behind the previously documented “Blue Room,” a richly decorated space featuring images of female figures on walls painted in a deep azure color. Originally discovered during the Bourbon period (1813-1840), the “Blue Room” was recently re-examined by archaeologists and was opened to the public for the first time in late May.
