Archaeologists at Pompeii have used AI for the first time to digitally reconstruct the face of a man killed during the AD 79 eruption of Mount Vesuvius. The remains were discovered near the Porta Stabia necropolis as he attempted to flee toward the coast, holding a terracotta mortar over his head as a shield against falling volcanic debris. The project, developed with the University of Padua, also found he was carrying an oil lamp, an iron ring, and 10 bronze coins. The AI-generated illustration shows the man running along a debris-covered road with Vesuvius erupting in the background.
