Erotic Roman Mosaic Stolen During WWII Returns to Pompeii
A significant cultural artifact, an erotic Roman-era mosaic panel that was looted by a Nazi officer during World War II, has been returned to Pompeii. The mosaic, which has a rich historical context, was donated to a German citizen by a Wehrmacht captain after being stolen from Italy. This restitution comes decades after the original theft, and Pompeii today welcomes back the lost piece of its ancient heritage, symbolizing a step towards cultural restitution and reconciliation.
