This study aims to a chemical and physical characterization of the numerous fragments of roman wall paintings found during the archaeological investigation in Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, Trento. The objective was to identified the Roman buildings present in this area, probably the Public Thermae, built in First Century a.C., through the archaeometrical identification of pigments and painting techniques used to decorate them. The main analytical techniques used to determinate the composition of the samples were Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Raman microscopy and X-ray Fluorescence (XRF).
