The painted red strip around the outside of Roman Buildings
#18
Hi
I can add that when I was in Tunisia a few years ago I noticed that traditional Butcher's shops, which looked almost similar to Pompeian shops, also had a dark pink red band. Some other shops were painted with a pale blue band. Continuity perhaps?
