Archaeologists have found a luxurious private bath in the ancient Roman city of Pompeii, Italy, preserved for 2.000 years under volcanic rocks and ash.
This spa-like complex, potentially the largest ever found there, has a hot, warm and cold room, exquisite artwork and a huge swimming pool, writes the BBC.
It is located in the heart of a large residence discovered in the last two years during major excavations.
"This is exactly part of the 'Pompeii effect' - it's almost as if people left a minute ago," said Pompeii Archaeological Park director Gabriel Zuhtrigel, who exclusively announced the new discovery to BBC News.
Two skeletons were also found there - a woman in her 50s holding jewelry and coins and a teenager, who happened to be there when the city was completely destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
A third of the ancient city still lies hidden beneath volcanic debris, but new excavations, the most extensive yet, are providing new insights into life in ancient Rome.
