Comparable in size to a large modern shopping mall, had more than 150 individual shops on several levels. Constructed of concrete (pg.184), brick, with only occasional detailing on stone and wood. Why? Because there was a building code that was put into effect after a disastrous fire.

Gardner’s 11 th ed., p facstaff.uww.edu/henigec/imagesearch/public/p... Flashcard Mummy portraits from Faiyum, Egypt Encaustic Regional differences – with other sarcophagus
From Hawara, Egypt Roman Period, AD Most mummy portraits that have survived have unfortunately become separated from the mummies to which they were attached. Because of this we rarely know the identities of the subjects.
The subject of this portrait, painted in encaustic on lime-wood, appears to be a man in his fifties or sixties of strikingly Roman appearance. He is dressed in a tunic with a violet stripe, or clavus, and a thick folded mantle. The hair is brushed forward and cropped in the style of court portraits of the Trajanic period (AD ). Pink has been used to highlight his nose and lips, and dark brown to indicate shading and the contours of the face. The portrait gives the impression of age, authority and austerity. These characteristics were very important in Rome, and are here represented in a very Roman manner.
