    Do you love pizza? So did the Romans two thousand years ago in Pompeii

    The newly discovered image has some significant differences from pizza dishes that are enjoyed today, since tomato and mozzarella cheese were not available then

    A 2,000 year old fresco depicting what might be a predecessor of the classical Italian Pizza has been found in the ruins of the city of Pompeii. Archeologists assume that the flat bread portrayed in the fresco, next to a wine goblet, may have been eaten with fruits such as pomegranate or dates, or dressed with species, pistachio and a type of pesto sauce.
