Summary[edit]

Description
English: Seated cithara player with girl behind. Wall painting in Room H of the Roman Villa of P. Fannius Synistor at Boscoreale, Italy. The Villa Boscoreale was probably built shortly after the middle of the first century BC. It burned in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79 and was rediscovered in 1900. It most likely represents Berenice II of Ptolemaic Egypt wearing a stephane (i.e. royal diadem) on her head. See Pfrommer, Michael; Markus, Elana Towne (2001). Greek Gold from Hellenistic Egypt. Los Angeles: Getty Publications (J. Paul Getty Trust). ISBN 0-89236-633-8, pp. 22–23.
