Hi Menna, the article comes out really nice. I've noticed you edited the sections on the history of the villa and the frescos. The evidence you provide seems objective and convincing. But please add citations to your facts. For example, you have added "Since the 3rd style came into fashion around 15 BC, it is most probable that the villa was built during the transition between the 2nd and 3rd styles, and decorated with the latest fashion, with all the paintings being in the 3rd style" after "It is commonly accepted that the villa itself was built between 21 and 16 B.C." Can you cite the source where you get the fact?

I like what you have added to the fresco section. Your introduction sentence of the black room leads the reader into the paragraph below.

In the discovery section, I believe you have a good start. You mentioned the recent discovery of the villa in 1903. In the resources you mentioned below, It seems you have a good amount of sources on both the formal analyzation of the wall painting and its grounding. Since this section is devoted to the discovery of the villa, It will be interesting if you provide information on the significant of the villa and the wall painting in the ancient time. For example, How does the discovery of 1903 alter our perception of Roman familial projects? What's the significance of having the villa build on the southern slopes of Mt. Vesuvius. If there's not enough source answering questions like that, then I think it will also be very interesting to have some detailed information on the discovery of villa in 1903.

Sincerely, Linus
