A 2,500-year-old tomb was recently unearthed in Italy with a rare last meal still inside, according to local media reports.

The tomb, which was discovered about 70 miles northwest of Rome, was built by the Etruscans, a mysterious civilization that inhabited the Italian peninsula before the Romans, according to an April 4 news release from the Parco di Vulci, an archaeological park.

The necropolis was enclosed by large stone slabs and had been undisturbed since its construction in 6th century B.C., according to GreenMe, an Italian news site.
