Abstract

This paper presents an overview of paintings on plaster that
have been discussed previously in a number of works published
in the course of the twentieth century and in the most recent
studies of the Roman colony of Pola. The examples are from
private buildings in Pula and the area that falls within its
administrative scope and jurisdiction, i.e., the nearby Barbariga
and Vižula sites. Our focus is on wall decoration preserved in
situ. Only one of the decorations discussed here can be viewed
to this day, located in Pula in the room with the Punishment
of Dirce mosaic. The overview covers the period from the third
quarter of the first century BCE to the second half of the second
century CE.
