🪔Funerary bed with bone decorations, from the Esquiline Hill, Rome, 2nd half of 1st c. BC. Legs and frame carved with scenes of the Childhood of Dionysos. One of my favourite small details in the collection. @MuseoNazRomano

🪔Bedroom B, Villa della Farnesina — the toilette of Aphrodite, painted in cinnabar red. The goddess is dressed by an attendant while a winged figure holds her sceptre. Now at Palazzo Massimo. @MuseoNazRomano

🪔The House of Augustus on the Palatine preserves Second Style frescoes: the Room of the Masks, a studiolo with painted trompe-l'œil architecture. Suetonius describes a modest home for the first emperor — far from the splendor often assumed. @ColosseumRome

🪔 Theatrical mask reliefs, Centrale Montemartini. From the domus of Fulvius Plautianus, Quirinal Hill, 1st century AD. Garden decoration. Comedy, tragedy, satyr — always in pairs. Why so common? @MuseiCapitolini (1/4)

🪔 Curved funerary relief, 20-40 AD. Found reused as a doorstep in Trajan's Market. Four freedmen in medallions — the portrait as proof of personal success. The style of portraits and framing looks Art Deco. @MuseiCapitolini #AncientRome #RomanHistory
