Experts unearthed an entire food shop, that was selling ready meals to passersby, in what appears to be a proper street food shop, equivalent to our modern-day fast food shops.

The archaeologists found counters containing circular holes, where terracotta jars with food had been stored by the shop owner.

Additionally, these counters feature fantastically well-preserved frescoes depicting different animals, probably about the kind of meat that was sold in this shop.
