@phistorians @histodons @antiquidons @archaeodons its amazing to see in person, the Archeological musem is amazing. If you can see Pompei and Herculaneum as well it's well worth it.

@onepict @histodons @antiquidons @archaeodons oooo yes! I had the pleasure of seeing Herculaneum in 2016 and was at Pompeii just a couple of days before the museum. Wanted to get that sense of topography before seeing so many of the frescoes and mosaics in this museum that came from those sites. Which place left the biggest impression on you?

I'd say Herculaneum did, because it's a less popular site and very well preserved. Although seeing the food stall remains at Pompeii and going back to Naples to have Pizza gave me pause.

We saw Herculaneum the day before we went back. When we were waiting for the train we had pizza at the small place at the top of the hill. So I feel I reflected more on the people and the lost history there.
