Pompeii wardrobe resurfaces with beauty items and jewels

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorArchaeologists in Pompeii have opened a cupboard in the House of Cornelius Maximus and found jewels, coins, tools and cosmetics, Euronews reports.

2. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIt sits on Via dell'Abbondanza, one of the city's main streets. Inside were thirty-eight bronze coins and a necklace of children's amulets.

3. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorTwenty-four tiny charms, each with a hole for hanging, in faience, bone, glass paste and rock crystal. That's a serious jewelry drawer.

4. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThere were also tweezers, a spatula for mixing pigments, a glass balsamarium, a perfume burner and a bronze lamp. This was a woman's wardrobe, Chip.

5. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSo whose house is it?

6. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorOfficially a man's. The name comes from inscriptions on the facade that are no longer visible, so the link to Cornelius Maximus is tentative.

7. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorA name nobody can read, on a house full of her things.

8. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAnd the facade was dug out in nineteen twelve, but the rooms behind it are only now being investigated.

9. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorMy verdict: the finds are exceptional, the attribution is a rumor, and I want the file reopened. The man has been in charge of this house on paper alone.

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThen the house should be named after the cupboard.
