romegreeceart:Another fresco of the Roman house under SS. Giovanni e Paolo, Rome.There are actually five different buildings and among them is the house that is believed to be the home of two Roman officers who were martyred in 362. Houses were used between 1st and 4th centuries AD comprising ca. 20 rooms to explore. Some of them have pretty good frescoes like that in the pic. As an extra bonus one can mention that this seems to be pretty quiet place. (At least in last July in addition to me there was just one other person visiting the ruins)A repost and just a tourist tip, but I visited this place five years ago and really liked it. Also centrally located, just 500-600 meters from Colosseum. Walk along Via Claudia and turn to right when reaching Arco di Dolabella. Or go to San Gregorio and climb up the street that leads to SS. Giovanni e Paolo.http://www.caseromane.it/it/ -- source link
