DOZENS of objects recovered from the ruins of Roman cities Pompeii and Herculaneum will go on show outside Italy for the first time at a new exhibition at the British Museum in London.
The two cities on the Bay of Naples were wiped out by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79AD.
The show will feature objects found in their ruins, including jewellery, carbonised food and a baby's crib that still rocks on its curved runners.
