The paintings, and the mosaics.

by leics - last update: Mar 1, 2008

Just one of the paintings..........
The preservation of the wall-paintings is excellent, and they are beautiful. I just wish i was a better photographer.

The most colourful mosaics may have gone to museums and private collections, but the black and white ones remain. I find them just as fascinating, and just as attractive.

Herculaneum is worth visiting for this aspect alone, I think.
Beautiful.......
In the baths.........
In the women's baths
Painted portico
Beautiful room
Geometric mosaic
A hint of past opulence

 I was taken to Herculaneum in 1969 - I'd never even heard of it then - and have always wanted to go back - this year is it! leyle
