The 15-meter-long, six-meter-wide room was found in a former private residence in Vila di Nola, which was ancient Pompeii's longest road, during excavations in the Regio IX area of the site.
The Pompeii ruins were discovered in the 16th century, with the first excavations dating back to 1748. Pompeii is the second most-visited archaeological site in the world.
