Archaeologists in the ancient Roman city of Pompeii said they found what might have been the precursor to the modern-day pizza depicted on an ancient fresco.
Archaeologists in the ancient Roman city of Pompeii said Tuesday they had found what might have been the precursor to the modern-day pizza depicted on an ancient fresco -- but without the cheese and tomatoes.
Picture provided on June 27, 2023, by the Pompeii Archaeological Park shows the wall of an ancient Pompeian house with a fresco depicting a table with food. The fresco was found in the atrium of a house under excavation to which a bakery was annexed, already partially explored between 1888 and 1891 and whose investigations were resumed last January.
The fresco is believed to refer to the"hospitable gifts" offered to guests, following a Greek tradition dating to the 3rd to 1st centuries BC and described by imperial Roman-era writers including Virgil and Philostratus.
