A Roman-era fast food outlet, then known as a thermopolium, has re-opened for the public to see this week, with queues of visitors forming for the Pompeii archaeological attraction on Friday.
The thermopolium forms part of the Pompeii excavation site and was first discovered two years ago.
“This tour was very interesting, I have never been to the Pompeii excavations and I was very impressed, amazed and pleasantly surprised,” said one visitor of the site.
“I was very pleased to visit the new part that was discovered a few years ago, like in this case the fast food, in fact you can see a table with holes where the food was,” added the visitor.
Archaeologists uncovered an impressive well-preserved counter featuring frescoes on the site, with still life depictions which include Nereid riding a sea-horse, gladiators, a dog and a rooster.
The archaeological team also found various animal and human bones near the counter.
Pompeii, now a mass archaeological excavation site, was once a functioning city which become engulfed in pumice and ash following the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in the year of 79 AD.
Lack of air and moisture helped to preserve large parts of the Roman city in a nearly perfect state until it was discovered in 1748.
