I don't think it has ever been established that a soldier's body was found in Pompeii, despite the appearance of one in a well known nineteenth century painting. There were certainly swords found in Pompeii but no soldiers that I know of. The soldier being discussed in this thread is the soldier/marine found on the beach at Herculaneum, found in 1982 and reconstructed in a National Geographic magazine in 1984.
