Fresco Fragments

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

In the Roman refuse dump uncovered in the Early Roman quarry beneath the Eastern Cardo on the northeastern side of the excavations (see Foreword: Plans 3, 4; Weksler-Bdolah 2019:40–44), a number of fresco fragments were retrieved that display a high standard of workmanship. They are presented below in catalogue form: all measurements are in centimeters, presenting width × height. The standard of workmanship displayed by the fragments is relatively high (although inferior to that seen in Herodian examples; Rozenberg 2008:250–253): two or three layers of gray or white plaster were first applied as a subsurface, which was finished
