Research focus Title: Venus Anadyomene
Research focus Category: Object/artwork
Research focus Description: This small statuette represents another variant of the iconography of Venus Anadyomene, the goddess emerging from the waters after a bath. It was found in the tablinum of the House of Oppius Gratus and Quartilla in Pompeii. It dates to Ist century AD. Depicted in the classic gesture of wringing out her hair, the goddess is completely naked and rests her left side against a tree trunk, on which her cloak is draped. In front of her, a bearded satyr, very similar to the one in the Venus in a bikini, forms part of the decoration of the trunk.

Research Activity Type: Object Examination/Digital image-video acquisition
Technique: Digital microsopy (2D)
Technique Category: 2D imaging
Method Description: Portable microscope to acquire high magnification images. Observation at high magnification allows us to document the presence of residual polychromy, to examine the morphology and to extrapolate information about the stratigraphic sequence and the presence of complex mixtures or repainting
Tool / Equipment (or Software) Description: AM7013MZT (R4) (20–200x) by Dino-Lite USB microscope portable microscope was used to acquire images at high magnification
Tool / Equipment (or Software) reference: https://www.dino-lite.com/products_detail.php?index_m1_id=9&index_m2_id=36&index_id=48
ROI or target area or spot size: 6x8 mm (50X), 1.8x1.4 mm (220X).
Examination Methodology: acquisition of an image selecting the desired magnification (50X, 220X)
Equipment setup - Experimental: Acquisition on contact with the surface
Output interpretation: extrapolation of information by image observation

Object Examination Scale: Micro
Examination Class or Type: Single
Specific Scope linked to the Project: examination of residual polychromy on a marble statue
Measurable Entity / Property: morphology
Material Category: pigments, dyes, marble, alteration products
