NEW POMPEII FINDS
SKELETON AND GOBLETS
ROME, May 2(1
The first human skeleton recovered from Pompeii for some years has been found near the ruins of a large building close to the amphitheatre. Its position indicates that the person probably a woman, was fleeing for life when the ashes of Vesuvius buried her.
Near it was a small gold ring set with an emerald, and two silver goblets, one in perfect condition and the other broken. The emerald is engraved with a figure of a young bull. The goblet is decorated with a sacrificial scene in a temple evidently dedicated to Isis.
Experts think that the goblets were made at Alexandria.
