Archaeologists found a preserved ceremonial chariot near the ancient Roman city of
Pompeii.
Experts say it s not like anything found in Italy before and was likely used for ceremonies.
Pompeii was covered in volcanic ash in 79AD, meaning it stayed well preserved.
Archaeologists in Italy discovered a remarkably well-preserved ceremonial chariot near the ancient Roman city of Pompeii.
A statement on the Pompeii site s website called it an exceptional discovery because it represents a unique find - which has no parallel in Italy thus far - in an excellent state of preservation.

ITALY: Calling it an exceptional discovery, researchers at Pompeii have announced the uncovering of an intact ceremonial chariot from a villa near the famous archaeological site.
The announcement Saturday called the chariot an extraordinary find which has no parallel in Italy thus far.
The chariot is preserved in remarkable detail, officials say, with four iron wheels, metal arm- and backrests, and a seat perched atop that could sit one or two people. Notably, the chariot is adorned with metal medallions depicting satyrs, nymphs and cupids, suggesting the possibility that it may have been used in marriage ceremonies.

Archeologists wonder if preparations for a special occasion were on or possibly had the horse been identified as a possible mode of escape but abandoned as the volcanic eruption made it an impossible option. Chariot found in Pompeii excavations | Photo Credit: Twitter
Key Highlights From the fragments of evidence we have we can picture the villa before the eruption as an oil, wine and cereal producing suburban villa producing great wealth for its owner, Dr Hay - an archaeologists who specialises in Pompeii, told Times Now in an exclusive interview. The discovery of the carriage in the portico is intriguing but may be explained if its use was imminent. Had they been planning a wedding or about to celebrate some occasion and had been decorating the carriage with flowers?
