Abstract
Ancient DNA amplification using primers targeted to an equine specific satellite-type sequence was carried out on two equine bone remains found in one of the stables of the Pompeian «Castiamanti» house buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D. proving DNA amplifiability. Amplified sequences perfectly matched with the modern homologous equine sequence. Histological and histochemical data also proved the persistence of endogenous DNA in bone remains. Equine samples are free of both human and bacterial contaminant DNA.
