Archaeologists from the Pompeii Archaeological Park have used artificial intelligence to digitally reconstruct a victim's face from the A.D. 79 Mount Vesuvius eruption. The image was posted on the park's Facebook page and shows a man attempting to flee the city towards the coast. The use of photo-editing to translate skeletal data into a realistic human form aligns with ancient accounts of citizens using various objects during the eruption.
