Abstract
Despite most of many frescoes in Palazzo Barberini (Rome) have been catalogues as ancient, only one of them seems to be actually born in the Roman Imperial Age. The strange misunderstanding begun as early as in XVII century art literature. In that period those paintings formed probably the most important specialized collection. This research clears the real character of many elements of that group, in order to their attribution, material and conservation state.
