Description:

|
Fresco of two peacocks from a colombarium (private mausoleum) from the collections of the Villa Doria-Pamphilij in Rome, dated ca. late 1st century BCE-early 1st century CE. The peacock appears in burial sites as a symbol of immortality because the ancients believed that the peacock had flesh that did not decay after death. This Roman iconography carried into early Christian art.
