Recent excavations at the House of the Chaste Lovers in Pompeii have revealed the skeleton of an equid, found in a bakery area of the site.
This discovery provides valuable insights into the role of working animals in the daily lives of Romans, particularly in the context of the city's activities before the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79.
The findings highlight the significance of such animals in various aspects of Roman society, suggesting they were integral to both domestic and commercial operations.
