    Still wrapping my head around the latest incredible discovery of a four-wheeled processional chariot from Civita Giuliana near #Pompeii. The bronze medallion decoration is stunning but I’m still gawping at its four wheels! Image 1:@_MiBACT Images 2-4 @pompeii_sites | Luigi Spinapic.twitter.com/vVkH6leq7V

        In addition, there is emerging news that the oak roof beams of the double-tiered portico where the chariot was found, has survived intact. The portico opened onto a courtyard and led to the stable where the three horses were found. Images 1 & 3: @pompeii_sitespic.twitter.com/LckpCWKDde

        “... incredible in its completeness, with traces of its cushions, ropes to hold its garlands of flowers, and even the imprint of two ears of wheat left on a seat... [a] parade carriage, painted in red...” The details are extraordinary.

        A wonderful insight into what it took to excavate the four-wheeled carriage. A short film that goes from the delicate chipping away of the volcanic debris, the excitement of the discovery, to the much needed caffè!
