An equid skeleton has been uncovered during archaeological excavations in a bakery area of Pompeii's House of the Chaste Lovers complex.
The Insula of the Chaste Lovers is one of the most important excavation sites in Pompeii because it preserves an entire production complex, including a bakery oven, storage rooms, workspaces and the owner's residence.
The complex is named after the famous “Chaste Kiss” fresco discovered in a triclinium of the house and comprises a large bakery with adjoining stables, where other equids used to operate millstones and transport grain for bread production had previously been found.
