Ancient Statues of a Married Couple Discovered in Pompeii

Two life-size Roman statues have been discovered in a tomb just outside the ancient city of Pompeii—one of a man, the other of a richly adorned woman who may have been a priestess of the goddess Ceres. In this video, we explore the incredible funerary art, artifacts, and rituals uncovered at the site: from mystical mirrors and magical amulets to wine libations and Charon's obol.
🏺 What do these statues tell us about Roman beliefs, death rituals, and the roles of elite women in society?
Discovered near the Porta Sarno necropolis, this 2,000-year-old tomb reveals a rare and emotional story of identity, power, and memory in the shadow of Vesuvius.
