Folks back then grabbed whatever they could, like this guy's terracotta mortar used as a head shield, plus an oil lamp, iron ring and tin bronze, coins to fend off the falling rocks, just like old Roman accounts describe. Now AI translates bones and artifacts into lifelike images, showing him dashing down
