Archeologists discovered a pre Roman era tomb in Pompeii on 19th September 2015. This tomb was buried in a AD 79 volcanic eruption.

Samnites refer to tribals who engaged in fierce battles with Romans in 4th century BC. Tomb contains numerous vases and amphoras to give rare insight into funerary practices of that era. Excavations prove city of Pompeii is alive. The ancient city was suspended in time after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius on August 24, AD 79. This is the second most visited attraction in Rome after the Colosseum with 2.7 million visitors in 2014.
