Piece by piece, as if it were a big puzzle.
Seven restorers are busy these days to assemble the pieces of two of the most important wall paintings found in the Roman Forum.
The mayor visited Pilar Barreiro Industrial Ship Cabezo Beaza in recovering the paintings.
The co-director of excavations Pinwheel Park, María José Madrid, has explained the steps that are being taken to restore them.
Alongside them, also have been the Councillor for Culture, Rosario Montero, and Archaeological Museum director, Maria Comas.
It is a complicated job and requires a lot of patience, the mayor said after seeing the pieces. Stas à ‰ rooms were subtracted from the forum and transported to the craft to classify, retrieve and install fresh where they were.
The pieces belong to two rooms at the Atrium building, one for the hall of worship and the other to the banquet.
According to the archaeologist, Maria Jose Madrid, both correspond to the first reform decorative building.
Son of the late first century and early second.
These compositions are repeated in many buildings of the windlass, which leads us to believe that at that time had a workshop in the city that made them.
In the hall of worship found a painting that is believed to correspond to the decoration of the first floor or the top floor.
While the second set belongs to the banquet hall, which is the room where the ballot boxes are placed.
The works are geometric compositions.
The implementation period is 12 months and the amount 300,000 euros. Paintings are in very prominent halls of the building, it is because the decor is different from the rest. This will give important quality to the site, has Mayor stressed.
On the other hand, when asked by reporters, the mayor has talked about topics such as
speed train project, the support of the Community to promote tourism and Provider Plan, among other issues.
