Abstract
An analysis of the Roman mosaic showing the punishment
of Dirce, together with the surrounding walls and frescoes, was
performed, continuing thus the project of the Archaeological
Museum of Istria, which aims to document the state and to plan
the future of the monuments at Pula. This analysis comprised
the collection of all documentation related to this mosaic since
the time of its discovery, the making of a photogrammetric survey,
laboratory analyses and maps showing the recorded degradations.
The aim of this paper is to present in a concise manner the
results of the above mentioned works, reviewing in the process
the conservation-restoration operations that might be needed,
as well as those aimed at the renewed valorization of the site.
