Wall painting excavated in Resina showing a portal, with candelabra-shaped columns, chest-high walls or plutei, cornices and portico. The tympanum or shield decorated with a garland could indicate that it is a temple portal. Copperplate engraved by Tommaso Piroli from his own "Antichita di Ercolano" (Antiquities of Herculaneum), Rome, 1789. Italian artist and engraver Piroli (1752-1824) published six volumes between 1789 and 1807 documenting the murals and bronzes found in Heraculaneum and Pompeii.
