erotic mosaic pompeii nazi officer 1234747699

An ancient mosaic looted during World War II by a Nazi officer has been repatriated to Italy and is now on public display in Pompeii. The mosaic, which depicts an erotic bedroom scene, likely originated near Mount Vesuvius and was taken by a Wehrmacht captain who donated it to a German citizen. It was returned with the help of the Italian consulate in Stuttgart on September 16, 2023, and is now housed at the Pompeii Archaeological Park.
