Ancient Tile Floor, Pompeii

Description

This is a photo of an interior floor that was excavated in Pompeii Italy. Pompeii is an ancient Roman town near Naples, Italy. It was destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius around 79 AD. The city was rediscovered in the 1700's and it is still being excavated to this day.

What really impressed me what the wonderful craftsmen these ancient people had. This floor was crafted almost two thousand years ago! It is a completely flat floor but it almost looks 3D.

I took this photo with an old film camera--probably my Canon AE1 with flash.
