| Summary: | Herod's Palaces in the Land of Israel were elaborately decorated with Second and early Third Style wall-paintings. The stylistic and compositional aspects and the fine workmanship of some of the decorations allow us to assume the presence of artisans who were trained in the Western provinces of the Roman world. The clear adoption of the Roman modes of decoration raises many questions, and the new paintings with depictions of sacred landscapes and symbolic images discovered in a Royal Room adjacent to a small theater in Herodium throw new light on these questions and arouse new insights on the decoration issues. The decorative schemes, and the peculiarities of execution suggest the work of a non-Roman decorators' team. |
