This was the inferno of the eruption of AD 79, the living hell in which the inhabitants of the ancient city of Pompeii found themselves, including the two victims whose skeletons were recently discovered during the excavation of the insula of the House of the Chaste Lovers. 
The house was discovered in 1894 by the then director of the excavations in Pompeii, Giulio de Petra, who made the novel decision to reconstruct the roofs and retain the frescoes within the house rather than prise them from the walls and display them in the Museum in Naples.

The Forum of Pompeii was one of the great archaeological discoveries made during French rule in the early 19th century. Excavations began in the south by the Basilica in 1812 but only on May 22nd 1813 was the area officially identified as the Forum.
