This volume constitutes the proceedings of the 29th AFPMA conference held in Toulouse in November 2014, in connection with the exhibition of ancient wall paintings, The Empire of Color, from Pompeii to Southern Gaul, at the Saint-Raymond Museum. As every year, this meeting, an eagerly awaited and privileged moment of exchange between students, amateurs and professionals of toichographology and archaeology, gave a large place to current research. The first part brings together new discoveries but also several syntheses on the decorations of Narbonne and Aquitaine. The opportunity was also offered to specifically compare provincial decorations from various horizons (Germania, Hispania, Belgian Gaul, Lyonnaise) with those of Southern Gaul, and even with Italian ensembles since some articles highlight sites in northern and central Italy. A section on "iconography, archival retrievals and ancient discoveries" echoes the latest syntheses carried out on themes as rich and varied as garden decorations, marble imitations or epic images in ancient painting. In addition to stylistic and iconographic issues, questions of methodology, experimentation and analysis, conservation and restoration, and the enhancement of this rich heritage are finally discussed.
