Yes, they did. They painted many subjects and themselves on the walls of their homes and temples. The walls were in bright colors and of all subjects, in fact, some of it we would consider obsceneThephallic symbol was a popular one seen in many places including the doors of people's homes. Whole walls were painted in homes and the floors were often done in small mosaic tiles to form pictures of animals, people, and imaginary beasts. In the palace Nero built in Rome he was said to have not only painted the walls with these things, had mosaic floors, but added gems to the walls and ceilings so when the light hit them they sparkled. A big part of the funeral practices included painted pictures of the person who had died along with symbols of their faith and beliefs. It is because of these things that historians can tell us of the people of Roman and what they did.
