Among the wardrobe's contents was a crepundia—a necklace with over 20 charms representing deities including Bes and Mercury, worn by children to help parents track them. The presence of 38 bronze coins and personal objects left behind suggests the home's occupants fled the eruption suddenly.
“The fact that money and personal objects were left behind could point to the owners having to flee the eruption at short notice.”
