VIII.7.28 Pompeii. Old painting of west wall of Ekklesiasterion (dining area). Not a faithful representation.
According to PPM, it shows the state of the already missing central painting and the correct location of the large view of the left (inv. no. 1265).
The one on the right is incorrect (the sacrifice for Osiris) and should be the one referring to Egyptian cults (inv. no. 8558).
