Stolen during WWII, an erotic Roman mosaic returns home
A steamy piece of stolen history has finally returned to Italy, decades after its initial disappearance. According to the Archaeological Park of Pompeii, national authorities and military officials spent the past two years working towards repatriating an erotic travertine tile mosaic with ancient Roman origins.
These latest discoveries by archaeologists are enriching knowledge about middle-class lives in Pompeii before Mount Vesuvius’ furious eruption buried the ancient Roman city in volcanic debris.
Archaeologists estimate that 15% to 20% of Pompeii's population died in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, mostly from thermal shock as a giant cloud of gases and ash covered the city.
