摘要：This study tuses a non-destructive approach on fresco fragments fromPompei,. focusing on the artist 's pigment palette used in the Ist centuryA.D. in Roman wall paintings. The Tiukkila fragments were broughtto Finland from Pompeii in 1947 in the gfermath of Torld Tar II, and the precise provenance (house, insula) is not known. However; objects,things, and evenfragments, provideUs'with knowledge throughh thematerials thev were made from, linking to the choice and intention by,the maker: Pigments can be identfed by their chemical composition inaddition to wall painting techniques. The identification of the pigmentswas conducted with a two-phase non -destructive method pXRF (portableX-rav Fluorescence), directing further analysis with a micro-destructivemethod SEM EDI (Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energv Disper:siveX-ray Spectroscopy) The results were compared to known composittions ofhistorical pigments, tradition offresco painting, amd classic literature. Theresults represent the ideal Pompeian pigment palette of alkaline resistantcolors (green earth, vellon ochre, cinnabar; Egvptiam blue), agreeing withthe craf of Roman wall painting, further supported by the literary evidencefrom Pliny the Elder and Vitruvius.
