Description
A pale yellow marble with purple veins. Pavonazzetto marble was quarried in Docimium (central Phrygian) in Asia Minor and thus was called Phrygian marble by the Romans. It was used for many Roman buildings, including the Basilica, from the late first century BCE to the mid 2nd century CE.
