The artwork, dating back to 50-75 AD during the First Imperial Period, showcases Roman art at its finest, offering a glimpse into Europe's ancient civilization. The mural depicts a gripping scene from mythology, where Meleagro and Atalanta are portrayed engaging in an intense battle. Meleagro, a male figure adorned with military armor and armed with a sword, spearheads the confrontation against a wild boar. Atalanta, dressed in exquisite Greco-Roman attire, stands alongside him as they face this formidable adversary together. The attention to detail is remarkable; every element within the painting exudes authenticity.
