Abstract

This article deals with fragments of painted plaster with
characteristics of the First style that were mostly found in the
central room of the north temple (C) located on the Roman
capitolium in Nesactium. The site is located about 12 km from
Pula. The preserved decor belonged to the wall surface, and
it mainly consists of monochrome yellow, pink, and dark red
fragments, parts of hewn stones or orthostates. The imitation of
marble is rare but significant because it indicates diversity in
decoration. Since the fragments were found in their secondary
position, and do not conjoin, it is not possible to reconstruct the
decoration systems. Also, there are difficulties in connecting the
painted plaster with the original building and the areas to which
they belonged. Despite many unknowns, the presented fragments
represent a significant example of the use of First style in a later
period, not only in the area of Istria but also in the Region X
of Venetia et Histria, to which Nesactium belongs.
