Pompeiian fast food joint

I saw one of these on a trip there in college, but not nearly as intact as this one. Very interesting! I confess to be hopelessly in love with the apparent Roman obsession for frescoes on every available surface.

Scrolling down that same page, I saw a link to this other interesting article!

That's great!

FYI the word at the skeleton's head is εὐφρόσυνος which translates literally as "In good cheer!"

Here's another link about the mural https://www.textkit.com/greek-latin-fo…pic.php?t=64949

So it simply says "be cheerful' or "in good cheer' and does NOT say "live your life"?

Right, as far as I can tell.

I also just realized that that's one of the "kinetic" pleasures along with χαρά:

Quote

ἡ δὲ χαρὰ καὶ ἡ εὐφροσύνη κατὰ κίνησιν ἐνεργείᾳ βλέπονται.

I wonder what their Yelp reviews are like for the food? Probably fairly out of date. The “Pompeiian Calzone is to die for” says one happy customer.
