English: Ostia Antica - House of the Painted Vaults - room 5 - central picture - south wall
Sex between a female and a male. In Ostia Antica in the House of the Painted Vaults, a private house, there are two wall paintings of sexual scenes.[1] These wall paintings are thought to come from a mid-3rd century CE painting phase and have been painted over paintings beneath it that are from the 2nd century CE.[1] Three photographs from November 1938 show what these paintings looked like when excavations first began in 1938.[1] When exposed to the air and the dampness the wall paintings degraded over time.[1] In the 1950s they were removed form the wall. The paint was applied when the plaster was partailly dried and this made it fragile. When it was removed from the wall the paint degraded further.[1] Wall painting Date: 250 CE [1] |
