Sorry if this has already been mentioned.
Pompeii is in an area of Italy, settled by the Greeks, this is why many of the frescoes depict scenes from Greek culture and history, and the well
known fresco of Alexander fighting Darius was found at the House of the Faun.
The Romans also copied Greek sculpture, as is known., so that cannot really be relied upon, unless actual finds from the period have been made.
PS: the Corinthian at the feet of Emperor Antonius Pius, I would say is a full Corinthian, look at the length of the nasal and sides compared with the Apulo Corinthian.
On closer inspection....is it supposed to be a severed head wearing the kranos.....?
Regards :wink:

The enemy is less likely to get wind of an advance of cavalry, if the orders for march were passed from mouth to mouth rather than announced by voice of herald, or public notice. Xenophon
