Archaeologists have uncovered a new treasure in the ruins of Pompeii: a richly painted garden scene in the shrine area of a home that had been buried following the explosion of Mount Vesuvius in 79AD.
The ANSA news agency said it was given exclusive access to the site, known as a lararium.
Photos of the site show blood-red walls and paintings of bulls, as well as garden scenes of delicate birds, trees and snakes.
