Faun fresco, House of the Dolphins, Pompeii, Campania, Italy
Fresco of a faun, in the newly discovered House of the Dolphins, a luxurious dwelling in the Regio V suburb of Pompeii, in the Parco Archeologico di Pompei, or Archaeological Park of Pompeii, Campania, Italy. A new phase of official excavations has been taking place here since 2017 in an attempt to stop looters from digging tunnels and removing artefacts for sale. Pompeii was a Roman city which was buried in ash after the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. The site is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
