Pompeii’s plaster casts of Vesuvius victims reveal the deadly 79 AD eruption, now on display again—history frozen in time.
The Pompeii Archaeological Park has released a digital reconstruction of a man who died during the AD 79 eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Based on archaeological remains, the AI-generated image shows him shielding his head with a terracotta mortar while fleeing the eruption. The project aims to enhance public engagement with classical history.
