Georgelew Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 I recently came across the exciting news of a Cerberus fresco being discovered in Southern Italy. For those who may not be familiar, Cerberus is the multi-headed dog that guards the entrance to the underworld in Greek and Roman mythology. The image of Cerberus is often depicted as a fierce and intimidating creature, adding an element of mystery and intrigue to any archaeological find.
