Images of the Trojan War have been
found in the latest sensational discovery in fresh digs at
Pompeii, officials said Thursday.
The mythological figures inspired by Homer's epic the Iliad have
been found in all their former glory on the elegant
black-painted walls of an imposing banqueting hall in the insula
10 of the Regio IX in the ancient Roman city buried and
preserved by Vesuvius in 79 AD.
"Pompeii is truly a treasure trove that never stops surprising
us and prompting amazement because, each time we dig, we find
something beautiful and significant," said Culture Minister
Gennaro Sanguliano.
