Macellum (Pompeii)

Macellum

The Macellum of Pompeii was located on the Forum and, as the provision market of Pompeii, was one of the focal points of the ancient city. The building was constructed in several phases. When the earthquake of 62 AD destroyed large parts of Pompeii, the Macellum was also damaged. Archeological excavations in the modern era have revealed a building that had still not been fully repaired by the time of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
