The wall-paintings in the houses at Pompeii and in other Campanian towns can provide evidence for the birds that were known in Italy in the first centuries BC and AD, because they are painted with remarkable accuracy. However, the paintings as total works of art must not be interpreted in too realistic a manner because the flora and fauna are often combined in an ideal setting. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
