(ANSA) - Rome, November 19 - A spectacular, erotic ancient
Roman fresco has been uncovered during new excavations at
Pompeii, Massimo Osanna, the director of the archaeological
site, told ANSA on Monday.

impregnate Spartan queen Leda.
The high quality fresco uncovered in a big house in the
ancient city is rich in colour and highly explicit.
