New Fresco in Pompeii

They are still excavating Pompeii (destroyed in 79 AD). They found a new fresco:
The painting depicts Cassandra (princess of Troy and daughter of Priam) being seduced by the God Apollo. Apollo told the old baw beside him "I'm gonna shoot my shot." He tried to get with Cassandra, but she told Apollo that since he wasn't quite 6'0 tall, she would pass. Apollo got pissed and put a curse on her.
Cassandra later predicted the Trojan war, but because of her curse, no one believed her and Troy got sacked. When the Greeks took Troy, they captured her, took her back to Mycenae and she became a slave of King Agamemnon.
Maybe I am wrong, but it looks like Apollo has a breed of peace sitting beside him.

Firstly, that is awesome and thanks for posting it. 
Second, the breed is likely some type of Italian Mastiff. Also very peaceful.

You can tell he's saying "He's a good boy, never bit anyone."

As the Roman Empire once was, so we are now. As the Roman Empire now is, so we soon shall be.

Cassandra is mid AF. Imagine turning down a literal GOD for being 5’ 11.5”
Hoeflation is real, baws.

That outfit the gentleman is wearing is fascinating. I've never imagined anything like it in Augustan Rome.
