The flatbread
depicted
in the 2,000-year-old fresco
"may be a distant ancestor of the modern dish", Italy's culture ministry
said. But it lacks the classic ingredients
to technically be considered a pizza. The fresco was found in the hall of a house next to a bakery
during recent digs
at the site in southern Italy. The discovery was made this year during new excavations
of Regio IX in the centre of Pompeii, one of the nine districts that the ancient site is divided into.
