Chill like an Ancient Roman

This is exactly how I would like to be chilling right now. How about you?

#RockSolidHistory from the #GettyVillaMuseum in #Malibu, CA!

Here you see a bronze statue, a replica of one located at the Villa dei Papiri in Pompeii before it was tragically smothered by the hot ash of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. This area of the museum, called Outer Peristyle, has a mighty inviting pool. But it is just to admire, not swim in.
