when archaeologists find a snap shot into our history,

 in this case not so much a snapshot as the whole album! the above images via Myko Clelland, archaeologists made an extraordinary discovery last week when they uncovered a pristine mosaic that’s been hidden underneath feet of soil since the 3rd century. Situated in a private vineyard in the town of Negrar di Valpolicella, the tile flooring is believed to be part of an ancient Domus, the style of home owned by wealthy residents,

The site is near Verona, which boasts many of the civilization’s ruins, one has to ask what other treasures like these remain to be discovered in the area?
