A circular manhole cover has been
stolen from a domus in Pompeii, sources aid Wednesday.
The 20-cm-diameter cover was taken from the House of Siricus, a
recently restored domus on the Vicolo dei Lupanare (Brothel
Alley), a narrow winding street which joins the Via degli
Augustali with the main Via dell'Abbondanza.
The Pompeii superintendency said the theft took place between
September 30 and October 4.
The director of the Pompeii archaeological park, Gabriel
Zuchtriegel, said "we are looking at surveillance camera footage
and we hope to be able to find the culprit".
