Pompeii is one of the world's most emblematic archaeological sites. Founded in the 7th century B.C., the ancient city was a thriving center of commercial and cultural activity until its sudden disappearance in 79 A.D., buried under a thick layer of ash and pumice during a devastating volcanic eruption. This tragedy enabled the city's wonders to be preserved for centuries. Among them, the Maison du Faune stands out as a masterpiece of Roman architecture. This majestic residence bears witness to both the prestige of its inhabitants and the richness of Pompeian cultural life.
