Police seized some 1,000 ancient artifacts from a wealthy Italian man's
country house outside Rome that were stolen from one of Emperor Trajan's
villas, prosecutors said Wednesday.
Authorities contend the artifacts, which were being used to decorate the
man's weekend residence, were ripped off the walls of what is believed to be
Trajan's hunting retreat in Arcinazzo Romano, a town in the countryside
outside Rome.
Some were stolen from boxes of fragments that archaeologists had excavated
from the villa but had left at the site of the ongoing dig, prosecutors told
a news conference.
