Roman Postcard

I bought this postcard when I was in Rome last year from a really cool art museum.
The picture covers the entire ceiling of a huge room and it is immensely detailed.
It is actually one of the first recorded paintings of creating 3dimensional space on a 2dimensional surface.
Depending on where you stand in the room, it can look as though the painting is completely 3 dimensional, especially in the corners of the room where there is painted coving which took me a long time to realise was not actually real.
The post card does not do the painting justice, but you can see the detail that has been created.
The 4 large octagonal medallion looking things are in each of the corners of the room and the carious gods and beings are painted to give the illusion that they are transcending the painting and moving freely from the flat surface.

The above picture has a really in depth series of narratives and features some important Roman deities but I actually cant remember any of the stories. I will try to find out what the images depict and how the stories tie together again.

Roman and Greek mythology are basically the same thing but with different names and some different stories which I will go into more detail about.
