One day late for #FrescoFriday but here are some of my pics from a recent visit to #pompeii
First, some naval battles:
For #FrescoFriday a #Roman wall painting from the Casa dei Cervi in Herculaneum, depicting Cupids playing hide and seek. I especially like the one who covers his eyes - nothing has changed since #Roman times.
In Roman wall painting of the 1st century AD, scenes depicting Cupid in everyday activities were very popular.
Dating 50/60 AD. Now at Museo Archeologico Nazionale,
