This is one of the surviving fragments of decoration in the Forum Baths at Pompeii. It gives you a remarkable sense of how beautiful the place must have been before the eruption — the sort of glimpse into the past that never. happens. on archaeological sites.

Not unless a volcano helps out, anyway.
