Apollo Temple 阿波罗神庙
In the heart of the Pompeiians, God is everywhere. They built a largenumber of temple buildings in the city.Apollo Temple was the most extensive building.The Pompeiians thought that Apollo Temple was not only in charge of light, youth, medicine, animal husbandry, music and poetry, but also represented Lord God to call the oracle and predict the future.Now, although the temple was destroyed, its 48 columns and magnificent steps can still make people feel its brilliant momentum in former days.
在庞贝人心目中,神是无处不在的,他们在城内修建了大量的神庙建筑。阿波罗神庙是占地最广阔的建筑。庞贝人认为,阿波罗不仅主管光明、青春、医药、畜牧、音乐、诗歌,而且代表主神宣召神谕,预言未来。现在,庙宇虽已毁坏,但其48根庙柱和宏伟的台阶,仍能让人感受到昔日辉煌的气势。

The Human Fossil in the Antiquities Museum 古物馆的人体化石
The Pompeii Antiquities Museum contains a special kind of collections. They were body-sculptures that the archaeologists made according to the unearthed human shells.In the moment of Volcano eruption, countless victims died in the attack of the volcanic pumice stones, poison gases and volcanic ashes.The volcano ashes wrapped their bodies, solidified their final postures and recorded all details of the Pompeiians'dying.Most of these people died with their property together, and some of them held the gods in the hands, suggesting that they never forgot to ask God for help.
庞贝古物馆收藏着一类特殊的藏品,那就是考古学家依据出土的人体硬壳制作的人体塑像。在火山喷发的一刹那,无数的受害者在火山浮石、毒气、火山灰的夹击中丧生。火山灰包裹了他们的躯体,凝固了他们最后的姿势,将庞贝人临终前的所有细节都记录了下来。这些人死时大多和他们的财产在一起,有些死难者则手里握有神像,这说明他们在危难时没有忘记向神灵求救。
