Symposium (detail), Tomb of the Diver, cca 470 B.C.
The Tomb of the Diver was found by Mario Napoli in June of 1968, near the city of Paestum located in Magna Graecia. The significance of this particular tomb is that it contains the only example of Greek wall painting from the Orientalizing, Archaic, or Classical period to survive in entirety. The tomb was created some time around 470 B.C.E. in the Greek city of Poseidonia (later know as Paestum in Roman times).
