Archaeologists found a preserved ceremonial chariot near the ancient Roman city of
Pompeii.
Experts say it's not like anything found in Italy before and was likely used for ceremonies.
Pompeii was covered in volcanic ash in 79AD, meaning it stayed well preserved.
Archaeologists in Italy discovered a remarkably well-preserved ceremonial chariot near the ancient Roman city of Pompeii.
A statement on the Pompeii site's website called it an "exceptional discovery" because "it represents a unique find - which has no parallel in Italy thus far - in an excellent state of preservation."
