Archaeologists have discovered parts of an ancient Roman villa in the lost city of Pompeii and re-created a complete figure of a horse buried in volcanic matter for the very first time.
The find was made after archaeologists spotted some clandestine tunnels in the area north of Pompeii. They began excavations in August to claim any lingering artifacts before looters got there first. Digging in at Civita Giuliana, a northern suburb of Pompeii, the team of experts found myriad, valuable imprints and items, including the “extraordinary†equine discovery.
