Rome - Italian archaeologists drilling near a recently-unearthed ancient Roman fresco have stumbled on a twin set of fresh treasures - a striking mosaic and another detailed fresco thought to be 2,000 years old.
The discoveries, revealed to reporters yesterday, mean the site at the Trajan Baths in Rome's historic centre is becoming an important trove of imperial riches, experts said.
"Initially this was going to be a routine excavation, but instead it's turning out to be something quite special," Rome-based restorer, Mr Mark Gittins said.
