I am proposing an intensive survey of late Roman wall paintings and decorated environments in and around the city of Rome (second through fifth centuries CE), so as to produce a regionally cohesive monograph derived from my dissertation’s central case study on the Domus Faustae megalographia. This original project overall examined the decorative programs and historical contexts of three late-antique non-Christian sites in Rome, Egypt, and Jordan respectively. The complex viewing strategies employed in these sites allowed for the promulgation of political and social agendas. My monograph will now focus this study on the Italian peninsula, shifting the geographical scope of the project west and expanding the sociological frame of my research to include Christian as well as vernacular material.
