Researchers have unearthed one of the most well-preserved sets of human remains ever found in Pompeii, the ill-fated Roman city razed by a volcanic eruption in 79 C.E.

As Silvia Lambertucci reports for Agenzia Nazionale Stampa Associata (ANSA), the skeleton, which still has hair and a partially visible ear, belonged to a man who died in his 60s in the decades leading up to Pompeii’s destruction.

Per a statement from the Archaeological Park of Pompeii, experts discovered the remains at the necropolis of Porta Sarno, just east of the ancient city center. An inscription on the man’s tomb identifies him as Marcus Venerius Secundio, a formerly enslaved individual who later became a priest.

“Pompeii never ceases to amaze,” says Dario Franceschini, Italy’s culture minister, in the statement.

Why?  Is because he started his life as a slave only to become a wealthy & respected member of his society, to such a great extend that 2k years later we even know his full name? Or because he still has hais on his head and it gives a glimpse immortality?
