The houses of Roman Italy, 100 B.C.-A.D. 250 : ritual, space, and decoration
Presents a range of houses, from tenements to villas, and shows us how enduring patterns of Roman wall decoration bear the cultural, religious, and social imprints of the people who lived with them. This work guides us through four centuries of Roman wall painting, mosaic and stucco decoration, from the period of the Four Styles (100 BC to AD 79).
