Pompeii: the remains of a terrestrial turtle, with its fragile egg preserved in the carapace, were found in an ancient workshop in Via dell'Abbondanza, in the archaeological site of Pompeii. The discovery testifies to the vast ecosystem of Pompeii, composed of natural and not only anthropogenic traces, and a valuable archaeological clue of the last phase of the city's life, after the violent earthquake of 62 AD, and before the fateful eruption of 79 AD.
