Viminacium’s painting officina
Abstract
The archaeological research of Viminacium, the biggest city of the Roman provinces of
Moesia Superior and Moesia Prima in Late Antiquity, (which has been in progress for
over a century) resulted in numerous exceptional finds among which were wall paintings.
The Viminacium officina was active from the 2nd to the 5th century AD, and works of art
different by their topics as well as by the quality of production originated from it.
The wall paintings come from different locations; in this paper, those from public buildings – the Amphitheatre and Thermae – as well as tomb painting, will be presented. The
heritage of the officina of Viminacium can be understood through the painting of the Late
Antique tombs (built between the 3rd and 5th centuries). In the area of the city necropolis of
Viminacium, over thirty painted tombs were found. This paper will present a review of the
painting of the tombs with trapezoidal section.
Both the unpublished and the already published examples will... be analysed in order to
present new conclusions. The archaeometric research, as well as the visual observation, prove
that certain tombs originated from the same painting officina.
