Fragments of a Roman-Period Wall Painting at ‘En Ya‘al (Nahal Refa’im), Jerusalem
(pp. 77–79)
Silvia Rozenberg
Keywords: Late Roman period, art, pigment, composition
Seventy-five painted plaster fragments were found in the Roman villa excavated on the northern bank of Nahal Refa’im. The fragments are painted in basic colors: white, red, green and black. The poor technique and the dullness of the colors indicate that the murals should be dated between the late second and the early third centuries CE.
