Roman fresco showing dancing inhabitants of Troy
Roman fresco showing dancing inhabitants of Troy leading a horse through the city gates. At the top of the fresco you can see Cassandra, the daughter of Priam (king of Troy), who predicted the tragic defeat of the city, but no one wanted to listen to her. The woman leaves the city with lit torches. The object was discovered in Pompeii and dates back to the 1st century CE. The artifact is located in the National Archaeological Museum of Naples.
