VII.4.48 Pompeii.

Wall painting by V. Loria showing centre of east wall of exedra and painting of Apollo.

(Note the zoccolo (lower wall) is from a different wall).

According to Niccolini –

“Everyone can imagine from this painting how grandiose the whole wall must have been, since this can certainly be judged from the part seen………”
