Pompei, dagli scavi emerge un panificio-prigione come raccontato da Apuleio
Nell’ambito di un progetto di messa in sicurezza e manutenzione dell’area ancora non indagata della città antica di Pompei, è emerso un panificio-prigione, dove persone ridotte in schiavitù e asini erano rinchiusi e sfruttati per macinare il grano necessario a produrre il pane
![A prison - bakery, where enslaved people and donkeys were locked up and exploited to grind the grain needed to produce bread. A narrow room with no external view, with small windows with iron grates for the passage of light. And carvings in the floor to coordinate the movement of the animals, forced to wander around for hours blindfolded. The plant emerged in Regio IX, insula 10, where excavations are underway as part of a broader project to secure and maintain the fronts that surround the still uninvestigated area of ??the ancient city of Pompeii.

LA SCOPERTA
- Un ambiente angusto e senza affaccio esterno, con piccole finestre con grate in ferro per il passaggio della luce, dove schiavi e animali erano rinchiusi per macinare il grano in una sorta di panificio-prigione. Questa scoperta è emersa nella Regio IX, insula 10, dove sono in corso scavi nell'ambito della messa in sicurezza e manutenzione dell'area ancora non indagata della città antica di Pompei

ANIMALI BENDATI
- Nel pavimento del luogo si possono inoltre notare intagli per coordinare il movimento degli animali, i quali erano costretti a girare per ore con occhi bendati per macinare il grano

LUOGO ABITATO
- In uno degli ambienti del panificio, erano già emerse nei mesi scorsi tre vittime, a conferma che nonostante la ristrutturazione in corso, la dimora fosse tutt'altro che disabitata

PRODUZIONE
- Le nuove scoperte rendono possibile descrivere meglio anche il funzionamento pratico dell'impianto produttivo che, seppure in disuso al momento dell'eruzione, ci restituisce una conferma puntuale del quadro sconcertante dipinto da Apuleio

“LIMITATA LIBERTÀ DI MOVIMENTO”
- “Si tratta, in altre parole, di uno spazio in cui dobbiamo immaginare la presenza di persone di status servile di cui il proprietario sentiva il bisogno di limitare la libertà di movimento” evidenzia il direttore Gabriel Zuchtriegel, in un articolo scientifico pubblicato oggi sull’E-Journal degli scavi di Pompei

“BRUTALE SCHIAVITÙ”
- “È il lato più sconvolgente della schiavitù antica, quello privo di rapporti di fiducia e promesse di manomissione, dove ci si riduceva alla bruta violenza, impressione che è pienamente confermata dalla chiusura delle poche finestre con grate di ferro” conclude Zuchtriegel
