For #FrescoFriday a glimpse inside the Domus Aurea, a luxurious and extensive residence Nero begun to build after the fire in 64 AD that destroyed large parts of the centre of #Rome. #RomanArchaeology

In the early 60s, a small villa was excavated in Stabia, the Villa Carmiano. Its triclinium was painted with unique frescoes, including this one below which may depict Ceres and Bacchus. But perhaps instead Thetis and Achilles? #FrescoFriday Archaeological Museum of Stabia 📸 me
