New Exhibit. Get It While It's Hot.

"Last Supper in Pompeii" now on display at the Legion of Honor.

---

Bacchus. Bacchus. Bacchus...

Carbonized bread. Just about everything was turned to charcoal that morning, from bread to people.

I don't drink wine. Is this a good label?

Simply titled, "Bucket." But it's a stylin' 2000-year-old-bucket, with goose neck handle.

The Romans were crazy for mosaics.

For reclining while you dined. The Romans celebrated eating as a very social experience.

Roasted mouse, a Roman delicacy. See descriptor for culinary prep.

Hosting a larger party? You'll probably want to serve roasted boar. This is a plaster cast of one found centuries later at Pompeii.

A satyr pours the wine. And there is always wine. Right, Bacchus?

The rich, varied diet of the wealthy Roman class in Pompeii, circa 79 AD.

Brace yourselves...

A crazy impressive mosaic on the local fish life.

This was the last piece in the display. And suddenly this tragic event was about a lot more than old kitchen utensils.

As always, exit through the gift shop.
