Image title	This handout photo taken and released on 25 June by Parco Archeologico di Pompei (Archaeological Park of Pompeii), shows a 2,000-year-old Pompeian painting, a still life, found by the new Regio IX excavations, depicted on the wall of an ancient Pompeian house that could be a distant ancestor of modern pizza. Archaeologists at Pompeii said on June 27 they had discovered on an ancient fresco the precursor to the modern-day pizza -- but without the cheese and tomatoes. The fresco is believed to refer to the"hospitable gifts"offered to guests, following a Greek tradition predating the Romans.
