✨A woman makes an offering✨This #FrescoFriday we travel to the Villa San Marco in Stabiae to enjoy this beautiful depiction of a woman carrying a tray that has food an implements associated with making a ritual offering. #AncientRome #History

Description from Wikimedia Commons: “The peplos-clad woman in this fresco is labeled as an 'offerant', which is appropriate since she's carrying a silver offering tray with herbs, food, and other implements to perform a ritual offering to the gods. Found in the diaetae ('day rooms') facing the gardens at the ancient Villa San Marco, in Stabiae.” This artefact is held by the MAN Napoli, inv. 8890a. Image credit to Chapps.

@phistorians thank you for sharing this about it. I only had a few minutes on Wikipedia and it was not leading anywhere so I appreciate knowing there's nowhere to lead! Yet.
