Description
A fresco with squares and diamonds in greek, blue, red, and yellow adorns one of the walls in the so-called Commandant's Headquarters. This is one of several frescos returned, in situ, to the building following preservation. The black line indicates that below the line were the original standing walls and above the line is the archaeological reconstruction. Frescoes are painted on plaster.
