Archaeologists recently unearthed a "stunning" banquet room in Pompeii, a doomed city in Italy that was destroyed by a volcano in A.D. 79. The discovery was announced this week.
The banquet hall and its mosaic floor were uncovered during a project to help prevent further demise of the ruins of Pompeii. The paintings were likely meant to both entertain and to "provide conversation starters." Christine Rousselle is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
Pompeii was a bustling city near Naples until the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in A.D. 79. The volcano destroyed the entire city, killing thousands — yet left it remarkably preserved.
