Answer: C - Romans often decorated the walls of their homes with frescos, which is a painting on a plaster wall. Frescoes decorated homes and public buildings in Ancient Rome. (The art form is closely identified with Renaissance art as well.) Artists painted onto wet lime plaster that absorbed the water in the paint, binding the image to the wall. (The lime in the plaster was the inorganic chemical compound lime, like the substance that can build up on a faucet, not the lime citrus fruit.) A great deal of knowledge regarding culture in the ancient Roman world has been learned by studying frescoes to gain insight to the values and practices of people during that period.
