- Abstract
Using theoretical and analytical tools derived from descriptive geometry, the article advances an interpretation of the representation of space and perspective in the ancient Roman frescoes at the Temple of Isis in the extinct city of Pompeii in Italy. It contextualizes the murals within the broader typology and iconography of the Forth Pompeian Style, distinguishing sacral-idyllic, Nilotic, villa, and naumachian landscapes. It provides a detailed description of the temple and of the individual motifs based on archaeological reconstructions. It also makes suggestions on how to situate individual frescoes within the overall decorative system of the temple.
