Many walkways, walls, mosaics and statues still exist over time. "It is considered one of the most important Roman cities for centuries," said Napoli photographer Antonio Busiello.

Two large statues placed close together are relatively intact, including the head and limbs.Even though the sand has worn out for many years, the statue on the right is still quite detailed with folds on the layered clothes.
