Abstract
Most of the painted wall plaster fragments found in front
of the Amphitheatre - Block 70, during the excavation
2007/2008, were found in SU 020 in the layer interpreted
as the building phase of the edifice; six fragments were
found in SU 022 and four in SU 006. Wall paintings
were found with ceramics which belongs mostly to the
reign of Augustus, and it gives us terminus ante quem for
the construction of edifice during the early years of his
reign. The fragments are mostly monochrome (black,
red, violet, green), few fragments with different width of
bands suggest are close wall system and emphasis upon
flat surface effect. The painted wall plaster fragments
belong to the late Second Pompeian Style, the conclusion
is based upon colour scheme and few fragments we could
confront.
