The relief, discovered in Pompeii and now housed at Museo Archeologico Nazionale Naples, transports us back to ancient times. In this scene, we witness the lively atmosphere of a Greek comedy performance. Masked comedians take center stage, their exaggerated expressions adding to the humor of the play.
