Fox News
A private bath complex in Pompeii has been unearthed by archaeologists; the baths highlight the wealth of the ancient city before it was destroyed in AD 79.
The pleasure complex lies inside a grand residence that has been uncovered over the last two years during excavations that have revealed the opulent city's multifaceted social life before Vesuvius buried it under a thick, suffocating blanket of ash.
A central courtyard with a large basin adds to the splendour of the house, which is believed to have been owned by a member of Pompeii's elite in its final years.
