The photo below is one I made in 2001 of the altar at the Temple of Vespasian at Pompeii. Vespasian was the Roman general who led the attack on the Jewish rebels beginning in A.D. 66. Upon learning of the death of Nero he headed back to Rome. Later he became Emperor. Pompeii was covered with volcanic ash in A.D. 79. This altar shows a sacrificial scene.
