With sexual orientation being shortened to "sexuality", I propose romantic orientation to be shortened to "romancity"

Archaeologists in Pompeii, the Roman city destroyed by a volcanic explosion in 79 AD, have discovered the bones of a tortoise and its egg.

The animal was discovered buried beneath the clay floor of a warehouse and most likely perished prior to Vesuvius' eruption.

"It had dug itself a burrow where it could lay its egg, but failed to do, which may have caused its death," said anthropologist Valeria Amoretti, who works at the site.

The unique discovery was made while excavating a site that had been severely damaged by a powerful earthquake in 62 AD and later turned into a public bathhouse.

Archaeologists do not know why the structure was not renovated but rather replaced by the Stabian baths. The site was formerly an affluent residence with exquisite mosaics and wall paintings, dating back to the first century BC.

"Both the presence of the tortoise in the city and the abandonment of the sumptuous domus... illustrate the extent of the transformations after the earthquake in 62 AD," said director general of Pompeii, Gabriel Zuchtriegel.

"Evidently not all the houses were rebuilt and areas, even central ones, of the city were scarcely frequented to the extent that they became the habitat of wild animals."

"At the same time, the expansion of the baths is evidence of the great confidence with which Pompeii restarted after the earthquake, only to be crushed in a single day in AD 79."

"From prehistoric times the procurement of amber from the Baltic and North Seas led to the birth of trade routs linking northern Europe to the Mediterranean. The Eastern Po Plain constituted the final part of many of these routs, known as the "Amber Road". Throughout its history, Aquileia has played a central role in the processing and trade of this precious fossil resin... In the Aquileian workshops, natural or partly worked material was transformed into a great variety of objects that were then traded widely between the mid-1st c. BC. and the 2nd AD."
