SINGAPORE-HISTORY-POMPEII
The resin cast of a Pompeii man who appears to be holding his hand over his mouth to avoid suffocation during the eruption of the Vesuvius volcano in 79 C.E sits in a gallery at the Singapore National Museum on October 4, 2010. The cast is part of an exhibition opening on October 16 showcasing the daily life of the town just before the disaster. Pompeii -- a Roman city in southern Italy -- was partially buried under vocanic ash and punice following the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, preserving artifacts from the era as well as forming macabre casts for its fatalities. Over 270 objects from exhibitor Soprintendenza Speciale per i Beni Archeologici di Napoli e Pompei (SANP), including jewels, frescoes, sculptures and household items, will be on display to reconstruct the ill-fated city.
