古羅馬帝國皇宮修復，驚現密室

The grand, sprawling palace built by the Roman Emperor Nero nearly 2,000 years ago has been keeping a secret. While working on restorations, archaeologists found a secret chamber - a large underground room decorated with murals depicting both real and mythical creatures.

一組工程團隊在對有2000年歷史的前羅馬皇帝尼祿(Nero)金宮(Domus Aurea)進行修復時，發(fā)現了一個裝飾有詳細壁畫的密室。負責監(jiān)督這項工作的羅馬斗獸場考古官員10日表示，研究小組發(fā)現了一個通口，該通口通向一個房間，房間的拱頂和墻壁上滿是神話中的生物，包括半人馬和天神等。

In red and ochre hues, with traces of gilding, centaurs dance across the walls with depictions of the goat-legged god Pan, some bearing musical instruments. Birds and aquatic creatures, including hippocampi, are also depicted, and a warrior armed with bow, shield and sword fighting off a panther, all framed by plant elements, and arabesque figures.

用紅色和赭石色調繪圖，有燙金的痕跡，描繪了在墻上跳舞的半人馬，山羊腿神潘，有些還帶有樂器。 還描繪了包括海馬在內的鳥類和水生生物，以及一只手持弓箭，盾牌和劍的戰(zhàn)士，所有這些全部由植物元素和阿拉伯式花紋圖案構成。
