Summary
| Description |
English: An ancient Fourth-Pompeian-Style Roman wall painting depicting a scene of sacrifice in honor of the goddess Diana; she is seen here accompanied by a deer. The fresco was discovered in the triclinium of House of the Vettii in Pompeii, Italy. As with the other frescoes in this house, the painting dates between the time of the earthquake of Pompeii in 62 AD and the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD that destroyed Pompeii, killing its inhabitants, but preserved many ancient works of art. |
