Archaeologists have unearthed¹ the petrified² remains³ of a harnessed horse and saddle in the stable of an ancient villa⁴ in a Pompeii suburb.

考古学家在庞培郊区一座老别墅的马厩里发掘出一具套着马具的石化马遗体和马鞍。

Pompeii archaeological park head Massimo Osanna told Italian news agency ANSA that the villa belonged to a high-ranking military officer, perhaps a general, during ancient Roman times.

Osanna was quoted on Sunday as saying the remains of two or three other horses were also discovered.

The villa's terraces had views of the Bay of Naples and Capri island. The area was previously⁵ excavated⁶, during the early 1900s, but later re-buried.

The volcanic⁷ eruption⁸ of Mount Vesuvius destroyed flourishing Pompeii, near present-day Naples, in 79 A.D.

Osanna says suffocating⁹ volcanic ash or boiling vapors¹⁰ killed the horses. He hopes the villa eventually will be open for public visits.
