Ancient Dolphin Statuette Discovered by Italian Archeologists.

Archaeologists in southern Italy have discovered a trove of artifacts from a sanctuary in the ancient Greek city of Paestum, including seven terracotta bullheads and a figurine of Eros riding a dolphin. The discovery sheds new light on the religious life and rituals of the city, which dates back to the 5th century B.C. Limited excavations began in the 1950s, and the Italian Culture Ministry believes more treasures can be found in the area.
