In just about the longest refurbishment period in history, the Pompeii based snack bar owned by Vetutius Placidus is to re-open. Its last customers left in something of a hurry 1,921 years ago but the high profile launch promises to be something of a more unhurried affair.
Three hundred specially invited guests are to taste the delights of Roman fast food in the thermopolium (that's snack bar to you and me) in a special ceremony to mark the reopening of the joint, which has been closed to the general public for many years. Now after a long period of excavation and preservation, visitors will be able to once more taste the house specialty - baked cheese with lashings of honey.
