Frammenti inediti di interni pompeiani

The present work illustrates fragments of marble intarsia that have never been published: the top of a one-foot table, some crustae representing animals and a portion of acanthus scrolls. They come for sure, or most likely, from Pompeii, and allow to increase the current knowledge of the roman art in multi-stone covering by identifying, on one hand, a new iconographic star theme and, on the other hand, by demonstrating that on the I century also walls were decorated with inlaid plant motifs. The table top provides a new evidence of the Hebrew presence in ancient Pompeii.
