===Variety of subjects=== [[File:Zeffiro-e-clori---pompeii.jpg|thumb|left|''The Wedding of [[Zephyrus]] and [[Chloris]]'' (54β68 AD, [[Pompeian Styles|Pompeian Fourth Style]]) within painted architectural panels from the Casa del Naviglio]] Roman painting provides a wide variety of themes: animals, still life, scenes from everyday life, portraits, and some mythological subjects. During the Hellenistic period, it evoked the pleasures of the countryside and represented scenes of shepherds, herds, rustic temples, rural mountainous landscapes and country houses.<ref name="Piper, p. 253"/> Erotic scenes are also relatively common. In the late empire, after 200AD, early Christian themes mixed with pagan imagery survive on catacomb walls.<ref name="Piper, p. 260">Piper, p. 260</ref>
