One of the most archaeologically important houses in the ancient Roman city of Pompeii collapsed during the early hours of Saturday November 8
The house of the gladiators that had been used by combatants to train or relax before entering the amphitheatre, crumbled in the dawn.
The director of excavations said that the cause of collapse wasn´t yet known and the archeologists were inspecting it to assess the damage, however some believe the damagewas caused by faulty restoration in the 50´s and by the heavy rains.
This house near of two thousand years old is closed to the public but is still one of the most popular places in Pompeii
