Excavations of the Warsaw University Institute of Archaeology in an urban villa at Ptolemais, Cyrenaica, yielded an interesting collection of wall paintings from the 3rd cent. AD. These new finds enrich our knowledge about painted decorations of houses in this part of the Roman empire. The wall paintings include mostly high quality imitations of marble plates, which partially bring to mind an opus alexandrinum mentioned in Historia Augusta. This interim publication comprises the most important fragments of the wall paintings preserved in situ.

There are approximately ten historical synagogue buildings left in Ukraine today which continue, to varying extents, to preserve their original wall paintings and decoration. A number of these were only recently discovered. The attempts underway, beginning in the early 2000s, to preserve as well as uncover old paintings often produces the opposite effect, destroying authentic works. The cultural significance of these historical landmarks requires that they be included in a single international register, along with supervision and an agreed upon preservation program designed individually for each. Synagogue wall paintings will inevitably perish unless ways of transferring this heritage are sought that will move these works to a different and more reliable “medium of cultural memory”. Different, innovative approaches to museum preservation and ways of presenting these works to public view are called for. Among the tried and tested options are: reconstructing old synagogue interiors which contain wall or ceiling paintings; using motifs taken from the original paintings in new works being produced for the Jewish community; and work on exhibition projects, catalogues and two-dimensional reconstruction models.

Wall paintings in the Church of St. George in Kostoľany pod Tribečom discovered 60 years ago, belong to the oldest early medieval frescoes preserved on the contemporary territory of Slovakia dated from the middle of 11th until 12th centuries. Just Josef Krása and Ján Bakoš interpreted the lower part of frescoes in the context of Christology iconography primarily devoted to the Nativity of Jesus Christ. Only two registers of frescoes situated next to the triumphal arc of presbytery have not been correctly interpreted yet. This study is devoted to analysing especially those parts of the frescoes which have to be associated with Donor iconography. On the nave‘s south wall is a profane scene with the depicted prince of Poznan family with his two sons. The church founders, accompanied by St. George, offer a model of the church to Jesus Christ. On the north part of the nave, there is a religious scene depicting probably an anonymous abbot of Zobor Monastery accompanied by St. Adalbert praying before sitting Holy Mother with child Jesus on her knees. This scene was created on the occasion of the donation of a church by the Poznan nobleman family to St. Hippolytus Monastery. The author of the study puts the origin of frescoes into the context of historical events nearly linked with activities of Benedictine monks who came from the monastery of St. Boniface and Alexis on Aventine Hill in Rome, arrived in Central Europe together with St. Adalbert in 992. Frescoes could be made after St. Adalbert’s martyr death and before his canonisation in 999.
