A wooden wardrobe containing jewelry, cosmetics, coins, and household items has been found in a room on Via dell'Abbondanza in Pompeii. The cabinet was sealed for nearly 2,000 years since the AD79 eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
“A crepundia had a very special function. It was a reminder of their parents who perhaps lived far away … it was very typical of this society of people, who were often displaced.”
