Archaeologists have recently unearthed a small but elaborately decorated house in Pompeii, the ancient Roman city, featuring remarkably preserved frescoes with mythological themes.
Known as the House of Phaedra, named after the mythological queen of Athens depicted on one of its walls, this residence sheds light on architectural styles from the first century AD, as noted by the Pompeii archaeological park.
