Data for Pompeian wall paintings in MANTO makes use of PALP (http://palp.art/), Pompeii in Pictures (https://pompeiiinpictures.com/pompeiiinpictures/), the printed volumes of Pompei: Pitture e Mosaici and other published catalogues. Each "artifact" in MANTO represents a "space" in PALP, so usually corresponds to a room within a building. These are identifiable in the final component of the PALP identifier. Not all wall paintings and mosaics remain in situ at Pompeii. Some have been lost or removed to museum and private collections. Almost all have known findspots, however.
