In the present study, shards from Roman wall paintings (from the end of the first century to the fourth century A.D.) decorating the domus below the Basilica of SS. John and Paul on the Caelian Hill (Rome), were analyzed in order to identify the pigments used. The analytical techniques employed for the characterization of the pigments were the scanning electron microscope coupled with an energy dispersive spectrometer (SEM-EDS) and infrared spectroscopy (ATR and micro ATR). While SEM-EDS allowed to perform a qualitative analysis of the material, by FT-IR chemical species have been identified. The pigments identified were those mentioned in the literature for the Imperial Roman fresco painting: different types of ochre (yellow and red), mixtures containing lead, green earths and precious pigments such as cinnabar and Egyptian blue. They were often used as mixtures and the use of the most valuable pigments (cinnabar and Egyptian blue) were found in the most ancient rooms.

X-ray photoemission spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy were used to identify pigments on an Egyptian cartonnage from the Ptolemaic period (305–30 BC). While XPS allowed us to perform a qualitative chemical analysis and establish the chemical composition of each pigment, Raman spectroscopy was employed to identify the associated minerals. High-resolution (HR) XPS spectra revealed the existence of Hg and S in the red region of the sample; Raman spectroscopy confirmed the presence of cinnabar (α-HgS), as the red pigment. Sulfur and arsenic were detected by HR XPS in the yellow part of the fragment, which is confirmed to be orpiment mineral (As 2 S 3 ) by Raman spectroscopy. Raman spectra from blue/green dark-colored regions of the samples corresponds to Egyptian blue pigment (CaCuSi 4 O 10 ). Detection of Cu and Cl by XPS, from the same region, is a strong indication of a degradation product of the Egyptian blue, namely a polymorph of trihydroxychloride Cu 2 (OH) 3 Cl.

In the current proceedings, we report complementary results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron probe micro analysis techniques (EPMA) on an Egyptian funerary mask from (3rd century BC), which was provided by the Museum of La Plata, see Fig. 1 (A). SEM-energy dispersion spectroscopy (EDS) measurements, Back Scattering (BS), and Secondary Electron (SE) imaging were performed in a FEI Quanta 200 SEM with an EDAX Apollo detector, at low vacuum mode. Electron beam micro-analysis was carried out in a CAMECA SXFiveFE.

In the current study, fragments from an Egyptian cartonnage from Ptolemaic period (305-30 BC.), which was provided by the Museum of La Plata, were analyzed in order to identify the pigments and minerals used to decorate the cartonnage. The analytical techniques employed for the characterization of the pigments were the scanning electron microscope coupled with an energy dispersive spectrometer (SEM-EDS) and a electron probe micro analyzers coupled with a wavelength dispersive spectrometer (EPMA-WDS), and Raman spectroscopy.
