Really rare in Pompeii.
Can't always be certain.
We know his name because on the outside of his property, he'd put up these political messages that I'd said about calling for the election of a politician.
Okay, there's one.
Inside, there was an amphora for wine and it had his name and the address on it.
So it said, deliver to Uxinus at the Calpona, which is an inn near the amphitheatre.
Which just shows us in itself that everybody was very familiar with one another.
This was a small community.
Everyone would have known one another.
And just having that, that's not a specific address, they would have known Uxinus.
It's just lovely anyway.
He was part of the community.
So at the back, again, after the earthquake, he created this vineyard for a bit like a pub garden.
for his customers.
And they would go and sit below the vines, drink wine.
And he was even trying to create his own wine because he'd put Dahlia, which are these huge terracotta jars that you would ferment wine in.
He even had a couple of those and he'd left them out of the ground so that they would create stronger wine.
I think so.
I think he was quite a wheeler-dealer sort of character.
And he had another vineyard as well in the next room that he'd created, also in his Domus area.
