Archaeologists make ‘stunning’ find of banquet hall in Pompeii
A group of archaeologists excavating the doomed city of Pompeii found quite the surprise earlier this week: a banquet hall complete with paintings inspired by the Trojan War.
The discovery was announced earlier this week, The Associated Press noted.
The banquet hall and its mosaic floor were uncovered during a project to help prevent further demise of the ruins of Pompeii. (snip)
The images painted on the walls include Helen of Troy, Apollo and Cassandra.
The paintings were likely meant to both entertain and to “provide conversation starters,” the same source said.

The Trojan War took place sometime in the 12th or 13th century BCE, and no one has been able to determine if it was real. Does this add to knowledge that it could be real, happening 1200-1300 years after?
