The emotional relationship that caused the Trojan War, as the popular narrative says, exists today in all its details in a Roman city, represented by frescoes painted 2,000 years ago.

Italian authorities have discovered a black-walled dining hall with 2,000-year-old paintings inspired by the Trojan War during excavations in the Roman city of Pompeii.

The area of the room is about 15 meters in length and 6 meters in width, and the quality of the murals and mosaics dating back to the era of Emperor Augustus, and as for the selected figures, all indicate that the hall was used for banquets.

According to the head of the park, the walls were painted black to prevent smoke from the oil lamps from appearing on the walls, and people would gather for dinner after sunset, and the dim light of the lamps had the effect of making the images appear moving, especially after drinking a few glasses of good Campania wine.

Pompeii and the surrounding countryside were flooded with volcanic ash when Mount Vesuvius exploded in AD 79, killing thousands of Romans who had no idea they were living beneath one of Europe's largest volcanoes.
