Picaridin and Lemon Eucalyptus Beat DEET for Repelling Insects. Consumer Reports recruited volunteers to test out spray-on repellents made of DEET, oil of lemon eucalyptus, picaridin, a chemical called IR3535, and products made with natural plant oils.
One of those languages, Oscan, appears alongside Latin on inscriptions and graffiti preserved in the city of Pompeii, for instance, said Pedar Foss, professor of classical studies at DePauw University, Greencastle, Indiana.
Following seismic activity and coastal changes, Pompeii now stands 2km inland but it would have been much closer to the sea and the mouth of the Sarno in Roman times and around four metres lower. The Roman town of Pompeii covers some three square kilometres (one third remains unexcavated) but the outer suburbs were also densely populated. There were also hundreds of farms and around one hundred villas in the surrounding countryside. The population of the town has been estimated at 10-12,000, with one third being slaves.
