Archeologists in Italy unearth ancient dolphin statuette

Culture ministry officials announced on Saturday that excavations in southern Italy have revealed terracotta bullheads and a figurine of the Greek god Eros riding a dolphin, shedding new light on the religious practices of an ancient city.

This is the first discovery of artifacts from a sanctuary in the ancient Greek city of Paestum, dating back to the 5th century B.C. Paestum, renowned for its three massive Doric-columned temples, is situated near the archaeological site of Pompeii but is further down the Almalfi coast.

Although the small temple was identified along the ancient city walls in 2019, excavations were paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the Italian Culture Ministry’s statement.

The Ministry stated that several small terracotta figurines were discovered in the first few months of resumed work, the New York Post reported.
