The Roman colony's culture was similar to ours. Graffiti, including statements of love and political sentiments, was found on many walls. They followed the rhythm of the sun and spent time working and relaxing. Barber shops were gathering places. Archaeologists believe that many wealthier families left before the eruption either because of an economic downturn or because they heard rumblings.
