Chariot of fire: 'Almost intact' Roman carriage found near Pompeii 2,000 years after the city was buried in lava is heralded as 'an exceptional discovery with no parallel in Italy'
Archaeologists have unearthed a Roman chariot near Italy's buried city of Pompeii in a discovery that experts say has 'no parallel'.
A ceremonial carriage was found at a villa close to the walls of ancient Pompeii, which was buried in a volcanic eruption in 79AD.
The almost perfectly preserved four-wheeled carriage made of iron, bronze and tin was found near the stables of an ancient villa at Civita Giuliana, around 765 yards (700 metres) north of the walls of ancient Pompeii.
