Interior Decoration
- Synopsis
- Roman wall-painting. Begins with the Garden Room from the Empress Livia’s country house at Prima Porta, then concentrates on three houses in Pompeii: the House of the Fruit Orchard, the House of Marcus Lucretius Fronto and the House of the Vettii. Demonstrates the interaction between complex decorative detail and simple underlying designs and examines the technique of wall-building which made this decoration possible.

- NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
