[image ALT: zzz] Notice the little fountains in the yellow border above the main subject. While such decorative borders were common, I suspect these are meant to tie in with the patio immediately outside. Was there a fountain there?

For now, just a few photographs: wall paintings executed in about A.D. 30 and belonging to the so‑called "Second Style".

Images with borders lead to more information. The thicker the border, the more information. (Details here.)
