Portrait of Paquio Proculo or the Pompeii couple, Pompeii, Circa 70 AD,

The so-called portrait of Paquio Proculo or the Pompeii couple is a fresco preserved at the National Archaeological Museum of Naples found in the "house of Pansa" in the archaeological excavations of Pompeii.

The fresco depicts a Bourgeois couple of Pompeii, most likely husband and wife.

Baker - who had his pistrinum on the path of Abundance - comes dressed in a toga, thus qualifying as a Roman citizen.

It has been suggested also that the somatic characters of the two characters depicted betrays the Samnite origins, which explains the desire to show social status achieved: the man pictured shaking it a roll of papyrus (rotulus), while the woman holds in holding a wax tablet and stylus, suggesting that the man would deal with cultural and public activities or that the woman instead of the administration of occupied home and business: it waxed tablets found at Pompeii, which still show traces of inscriptions, are all commercial and economic (rent contracts, receipts, sales, credit or debit notes, etc...)

Most people hear “abomination of desolation” and think of some future apocalypse.A rebuilt temple.An antichrist with glowing red eyes.Maybe even a world ending goat sacrifice livestreamed from Jerusalem. But Jesus didn’t talk about it like a distant event. “So when you see the abomination of desolation…then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.”— Matthew 24:15–16 See it.Flee from…
