Despite the fact that more than 2,000 years have passed since that terrible eruption of Vesuvius, which buried it completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Discoveries that incredibly still emerge today, even though part of Pompeii&#8217;s archaeological park has already been brought to light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This time the find is truly incredible and exceptional because it sheds new light on the lives of the tiny inhabitants of the ancient Roman city. Offering us another perspective of Pompeii that is not about adults but about the culture and habits of the youngest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The discovery in the insula of the Caste Lovers of Pompeii<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The discovery was made in the<strong> Insula of the Chaste Lovers<\/strong>, specifically in the House of the Upper Room, along Via dell&#8217;abbondanza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are some drawings made with charcoal by children about 5\/7 years old depicting <strong>scenes of combat between gladiators.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is an incredible and valuable find that enriches us with new knowledge, but at the same time gives us insight into the spectacular violence these children were exposed to 2,000 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most likely one or more of the children had witnessed or used to witness the gladiator fights in the amphitheater. And they had imprinted this violent scene with charcoal on the walls of their homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, there was no difference between adults and children in ancient Pompeii; gladiatorial fights were open to everyone, even young children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The drawings found in the cenacle house were clear and unequivocal; these were gladiators intent on fighting in the arena of the amphitheater. Gladiators who were depicted with arms and legs coming straight out of their heads. Typical of drawings made by children about 5\/7 years old who approach drawing at first and tend to represent the human figure using only strokes.<\/p>\n\n\n<div data-align-buttons=\"true\"
