Abstract
The paper presents an assemblage of painted plaster and stucco fragments that have been unearthed in the early Nineties of last century in the site of Privernum during the archaeological excavation conducted in the domus of the Figured Emblem and, to a lesser extent, in the adjacent domus of the White Floor. These are two luxurious aristocratic houses that were built between the end of the second century and the early first century BC in the northern part of the ancient city and were abandoned during the second century AD after they underwent a series of building interventions. With the exception of a fragment of fresco preserved in situ in one of the rooms of the domus of the Figured Emblem, the walls of the houses did not preserve the original plaster, perhaps intentionally dismantled in ancient times. The excavated fragments originate mostly from artificial layers thrown outdoors in order to raise the floor level. Most of the studied material can be related to a mature (“post-pompeian”) phase of the Fourth Style, that probably goes back to a time comprised between the Flavian and the Antonine period, while only some sporadic examples are attributable to the Second or the Third Style. In addition to the wall plaster, the excavation in the Domus of the Figured Emblem has brought to light the remains of a small building site. It seems to be related to a painter’s workshop engaged in the reconstruction or restoration of the wall paintings during one of the restoriations which took place during the early imperial period in the rooms of the domus.
