✦ Synopsis

The wall-paintings in the houses at Pompeii and in other Campanian towns can provide evidence for the birds that were known in Italy in the ®rst centuries BC and AD, because they are painted with remarkable accuracy. However, the paintings as total works of art must not be interpreted in too realistic a manner because the ¯ora and fauna are often combined in an ideal setting.
