Roman wall painting of musculata in color from first century
#1
Hi all I was doing some research on roman wall painting from the first century and found this image of a Roman General as Romulus. [Image: romulus_warrior.jpg]
Quote:"Romulus depicted as Roman general (replica)
copy of a wall painting from the Via d'Abbondanza in Pompeii (first century CE)
Romulus is depicted wearing Roman armor and patrician shoes; he carries a spear and a trophy, the spolia opima that he had won in the year after Rome's foundation.

Are there any other images of musculata or other roman armor in color from around the firt century?

Oh and here is a basic page on Roman wall painting if any one is interested. http://www.accla.org/actaaccla/ramage.html
