This fragment shows a scene from a Geranomachy, the eternal fight between pygmies and cranes. The subject is mentioned by Homer in the Iliad 3, 3-7, which fired the imagination of many Greek artists, cf. LIMC VII, 1994, pp. 595-597, nos 1-34, esp. no. 23 (V. Dasen). For pygmies in Roman wall-paintings, see H. Mielsch, Römische Wandmalerei, Darmstadt, 2001, pp. 185 ff.
