Painting Of Odysseus In The Land Of The Laestrygonians, part of a frieze depicting scenes from Homer's Odyssey found in a house
on the Esquiline Hill, Rome (C.50-40BC). Such friezes, as Vitruvius tells us, were a popular feature of Roman wall-decorations in
the first century B.C. Some of the figures are labelled with their names in Greek.
