Fresco representing Apollo and Cassandra on a wall of a spectacular banqueting room with elegant black walls, decorated with mythological characters and subjects inspired by the Trojan War, recently brought to light during the excavations currently underway at Pompeii, Italy on April 2024 and now completely visible in all its splendour. Cassandra was the daughter of Priam the king of Troy, she could see the future but no one believed her.
