A sixth-century BC bronze relic
has been stolen from a show at the Pompeii archaeological site,
sources said Thursday. The piece, a door ornament, was on
display at the 'Pompeii and the Greeks' exhibit at the site's
Palestra Grande (large gymnasium), the sources said. The theft
is thought to have taken place while the site was open to the
public. Carabinieri police are investigating.
