And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

The splendid mosaic floor in the atrium of the House of Paquius Proculus, Pompeii. Imagine that in it's heyday, and walking through those rooms in a toga.
Buried history preserved thru time under the volcano ash, what else in treasures to find.
