La villa dite de Poppée à Oplontis (actuelle Torre Annunziata), également connue sous l'appellation de villa A, futensevelie sous les cendres du Vésuve en l'an 79. L'Unesco l'ainscrite sur la Liste du patrimoine mondial. C'est l'un des sites les plus riches en décors de marbre de tout le monde romain, mis au jour pour l'essentiel durant la seconde moitié du xxe siècle. Nous nous intéressons ici à une partie seulement des sculptures et des reliefs. Les oeuvres ont fait l'objet d'une analyse in situ par des techniques mobiles et entièrement non-invasives. La comparaison des données fournies par les techniques d'imagerie avec les résultats des analyses et de la recherche archéologique a livré de nouvelles informations sur les pigments et sur l'état de conservation.
