A mosaic panel depicting an erotic theme from the Roman era was returned to the Archaeological Park of Pompeii after being stolen during World War II. The artwork, dating between mid- to last century B.C. and the first century, was considered a work of 'extraordinary cultural interest'. It was repatriated from Germany through diplomatic channels and will be protected and available for educational and research purposes.
