Pompeii Mosaics

Watching MedTrekker and UCLA archeology student Sara Stratte examine sections of a mosaic taken from Pompeii, Italy, to a small museum in Northern California.

Mosaics from Pompeii discovered by The Idiot at The Behrens-Eaton House Museum in Redding, CA, this week are deemed to be in excellent condition. The chunks of mosaic floor were taken from Pompeii by Redding Judge Richard B. Eaton when he was serving in the US Army in Italy in 1944. The Redding Record Searchlight will run a story on the surprising find in its Sunday paper (Dec. 27). The museum told The Idiot that they are prepared to return the "find" to Italy.
