New Pompeii earthquake victims discovered in recent dig.

The remains of two men, believed to have been killed by an earthquake that preceded the AD79 eruption of Mount Vesuvius, have been found in the ruins of Pompeii. The skeletons were discovered beneath a collapsed wall in the Insula of the Chaste Lovers, an area of Pompeii made up of a cluster of homes and a bakery. The victims probably died as a result of multiple injuries sustained as the building they sought refuge in caved in. The discovery brings home the human dimension of the tragedy, said Gabriel Zuchtriegel, the director of Pompeii archaeological park.
