These discoveries are only relevant to Pompeii as it was a rich, seaside city so the family would most likely have had enough $$ to treat the children for syphilis and give them the care they need. Discoveries may not be true for other, not as rich, cities

Do we really know that these children were from Pompeii? They could have been foreigners from overseas, caught in the event and killed in Pompeii. Also we don’t know if the parents knew they had the diesease. These are limitations we might have to consider

I noticed in the Mary Beard documentary she showed that the Roman baths in Pompeii didn’t have a plughole which meant there was no way of circulating water. But in the Wallace Hadrill Life and Death in Herculaneum doco, there was evidence of a plughole  which meant that the water in the Herculaneum bath would have been much cleaner. Why would these two towns be different in this aspect? Or were they just expections/ am I missing something? 🦑

Food and diet is interesting to classical historians because it makes us think about where this food came from. Exportation and commerce is a big part of the Roman Empire and evidence of everyday diets can only be found in the sewers of Pompeii and Herculaneum. If we find pomegranate seeds then we know that the Romans were eating foods from other places which makes us think about how these came to be here

The quality, location, type and decorations of Roman houses can tell us alot about the Romans who lived there. One of the houses in my report was a townhouse with an impluvium, mosaics and spacious atrium. I used primary source evidence from Uncle Google for this. It was not as flash as some of the other houses around but was likely more comfortable than the apartments in the centre of the towns. This may indicate that the inhabitants were wealthy. If we know this we can also mention limitations of evidence like maybe the rich could afford this but not the poor. Significant because wealth is a massive influencing factor of any culture. Hmm IDK 🤨

The fact that the skeletons found on the exposed beaches were predominantly male, while those found under the sheltered arches were female and children may indicate the values of Roman society. They wanted to protect the stereotypically weaker sex and the young while the men attempted to find a way off the beach. Like the titanic they wanted to keep the women and children safe. Wallace Hadrill Doco useful for more info on this.

Means the disease was around in Europe much earlier than originally believed. Interesting discovery because means that the children’s parents still cared for the children despite the condition. Family values and responsibilities 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦👩‍👩‍👧‍👦👨‍👨‍👧‍👦
