The most recent episode of PBS Secrets of the Dead is on the Herculaneum scrolls.
Thank you Don! Looking forward to it.
The video mentions that the Vesuvius area was a famous resort area for the Roman elite.
Some time ago, I read an article that, on the NORTH side of Vesuvius, opposite Pompeii and Herculaneum, a villa was found where the Emperor Augustus died in 14 CE. Decades before the eruption that buried Herculaneum and Pompeii.
Enjoy!

Thank you for sharing Don! That was inspiring!
The video included this image. They were certainly rendering the eyes with great skill. It seems clearly to be beyond paint, and instead "false eyes," maybe with precious stones?
Great catch! You don't see that in the duplicates but it adds to the piercing serious effect.
