Room of the East Peristyle of the House of Augustus, 1st century BCE | In the Roman Forum complex, Palatine hill
Beautiful example of the "Second Style" of Roman fresco work, characterized by architectural trompe-l'œil and the insertion of scenes as "windows" to the outside, such as the glimpse behind the stage of the two women standing in the city in conversation.

Roman ship fresco from Ostia, first half 3rd AD
The fresco was discovered in 1865 in columbarium 31 of the Ostien necropolis on via Laurentina depicts a scene where a coastal freighter (navis caudiacaria) is being loaded with food. The ship is called Isis Geminiana (as can be read on its right side) and belongs to a certain Geminus or Geminius: At the stern is the helmsman, Farnaces magister; Abascantus oversees a man tipping a sack full of food (res) into a modius (Roman measure of volume for dry goods); at the prow, another figure seated next to a modius (inscribed Feces) gives orders to two workers carrying more sacks of grain on their shoulders and about to ascend the bridge.
The fresco, which belongs to the subsequent decorative phase (first half of the 3rd century AD) of the tomb, which was built in the second half of the I - beginning of the II century AD, decorated the left wall of the tomb and was flanked by a depiction of Mercury, which no longer exists. On the back wall was the banquet scene, now kept in the Museo Gregoriano Profano.

Roman Frescoes with reference to a photo of an actual fresco from possibly Pompeii. The subject is Achilles and his companion Patroclus. In the first image, it appears that the man on the right has false horse ears. Oh, Midjourney!

Samus and a metroid in the style of Roman tile fresco. Don't really feel it nailed the style, but I still like it.

Is it just me or is there romantic tension in this one fresco from Pompeii?
