Additional Observations upon some Plates of white Glass found at Herculaneum

1763réf. 1658Read before the Royal Society of London on April 9 1761 Additional Observations upon some Plates of white Glass found at Herculaneum: In a Letter to Charles Morton M.D. R.S.S. By J. Nixon A.M. and F.R.S. deals with new information gleaned from the relics obtained from the ruins of Herculaneum. Herculaneum was an ancient Roman town destroyed by volcanic pyroclastic flows in 79 A.D. It is located in the Italian region of Campania in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius. It is most famous for having been lost along with Pompeii Stabiae Boscoreal and Oplontis in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79 which buried it in superheated pyroclastic material. It is also famous as one of the few ancient cities that can now be seen in almost its original splendor because unlike Pompeii its burial was so deep as to ensure the building's upper stories remained intact and the hotter ash preserved wooden household objects beds doors etc. and even food. Moreover Herculaneum was a wealthier town than Pompeii with an extraordinary density of fine houses with far more lavish use of colored marble cladding. The discovery in recent years of some 300 skeletons along the sea shore came as a surprise since it was known that the town itself had been largely evacuated.
