Piso's Library
Back in the news.

http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-35865470

Quote:Ancient scrolls give up their secrets

Quote:The eruption of Mount Vesuvius buried the resort town of Herculaneum in ash along with its larger neighbour, Pompeii.
A library of about 2,000 scrolls was excavated from one of its villas in the 18th century, of which about 600 remain unopened.
Most are philosophical works in Greek, but other works include a comedy in Latin.

Probably nothing about any fucking jesus, though.  79 AD is a little too early for that shit.
