Six British tourists have been arrested for public indecency after they cavorted naked in a public fountain in Rome.
The four men and two women stripped off and climbed into the Fountain of the Naiads at around 6am on Sunday morning.
An eyewitness told the Daily Mail: “It looked like an orgy in Ancient Rome. They were completely naked, the men, with their genitals on show, and the women were just running around topless.
