Avarice
Illustration★★★★Penadty of, In one of the houses of Pompeii the skeleton of a man was found “ Who apparently for the sake of sixty coins, a small plate, and a saucepan of silver, had remained in his house till the street was already half filled with volcanic matter. He was found as if in the act of escaping from the window.”
