The Villa of the Papyrii opened this weekend. Nice if you can get there! Although the size is described, below, it does not say how much of that is excavated as a percentage.<br>

The sprawling villa once occupied 30,000 sq feet (2,790 sq meters) overlooking the Bay of Naples. It was adorned by hundreds of bronze and marble statues and stocked with a vast private library of texts written on papyrus scrolls - from which it derives its name. <p>Richard Campbell, Legio XX<br>
