Ancient street food shop discovered in Pompeii excavations

A street food eatery discovered at Pompeii has now been completely excavated, helping to reveal some of the favourite dishes of the citizens of the ancient Roman city. 

Sun (discovered at Pompeii)) conjunct Pholus (food and drink (street food eatery)) opposite Hades (interest in the past—thus history and primitive origins, things that are antique, or deeply buried, ancient art, and other things from the distant past).

The shop is known as a "thermopolium" since it served hot food.

A segment of the fast-food building's counters was discovered in 2019 during work to shore up Pompeii's often-crumbling ruins.

The counter was decorated with paintings of animals, which might provide clues of the ingredients those meals contained. On top of the counter there were holes, where warm food was stored to be served.
