  • Continuity of Culture: Romans in Pompeii Lesson Overview
    Continuity of Culture: Romans in Pompeii Lesson Overview Unit: Lessons: 1. Grades 3 – 6 Continuity of Culture: Lesson One: Map study of 2. 5 -7 Class Periods Romans in Pompeii Italy. 3. Authors: Lori Howell, Lesson Two: History of Melody Nishinaga, Sarah Pompeii. Poku & Warren Soper Lesson Three: Pliny the 4. Social Sciences, Younger. English and History Lesson Four: Comparison of “Then and Now.” Lesson Five: Literature review. Lesson Six: Graphic Organizes. Lesson Seven: Writing Overview “A typical day in this town means going shopping, stopping by the laundry, catching a sporting event at the amphitheater, or maybe taking in a play – and that was 2000 years ago. “Can you guess where this is? Not where you might expect: You’re in ancient Pompeii, an Italian village where life came to a fiery halt when Mt. Vesuvius erupted in AD 79. “ -Discover Kids Pompeii Magazine 1 | Page The eruption of Vesuvius on August 24, 79 A.D. froze a moment in time under thick layers of ash and molten mud. It preserved elements of Roman culture that demonstrate the remarkable continuity of human life and history, proving that life in the past, even the far distant past, was remarkably similar to our own. In this lesson, by taking a closer look at the remains of Pompeii, students will gain a broad appreciation of people in the past. They will study Roman culture by locating Pompeii on a map, identifying important elements of its geography, and examining the remains of Pompeii to explain how the Ancient Romans in Pompeii are similar to people today.

    This colonnade forms part of the forum. The forum was a public square which would have been used for meetings, criminal trials, public speeches, and markets. Colonnade Many streets remain in Pompeii. Here you can see cobbled streets with pavements on each side. In the distance is Mount Vesuvius – the volcano that destroyed Pompeii. Street In ancient Pompeii, there were many types of entertainment. One popular pastime was the theatre where people went to watch plays. This theatre had space for 1,000 spectators. Odeon – small theatre The Romans worshipped many gods. This temple is dedicated to Apollo, the god of music, and was built on a high platform to make it look more impressive. Temple of Apollo The House of the Vettii was one of the most impressive and richly decorated houses in Pompeii. It was named after the owners, Aulus Vettius Conviva and Aulus Vettius Restitutus. House of the Vettii The Romans use mosaics to decorate wealthy houses and public buildings. Each mosaic used thousands of tesserae (small pieces of tile or stone) to create a picture or pattern. Mosaic Another popular way of decorating rooms was with wall paintings (frescoes). This one, in the Casa del Menandro (House of Menander) shows a hunting party. Can you see the dogs and the man with a bow and arrow? Paintings in Casa del Menandro Myths and legends were a common source of inspiration for Roman artists. This painting depicts Narcissus who was so beautiful that he fell in love with his own reflection. Painting of Narcissus Archaeologists at Pompeii have found so many artefacts, it is not possible to have them all on display at once.

  • The Insula of the Menander at Pompeii: Interim Report
    THE INSULA OF THE MENANDER AT POMPEII: INTERIM REPORT By ROGER LING, F.S.A. INTRODUCTION THE British project in the Insula of the Menander at Pompeii was instituted in 1978 by the late Dr. J. B. Ward-Perkins in consultation with the then Superintendent of Antiquities for Campania, Professor Fausto Zevi. Funding has until now been provided by a generous grant from Imperial Tobacco Ltd., a proportion of the profits of the exhibition 'Pompeii 79' held at the Royal Academy of Arts, London, in 1976-7. To these mentors and sponsors the author is deeply indebted—to Imperial Tobacco for their enlightened patronage of archaeological research, to Professor Zevi for first suggesting a programme of recording and analysis in the Insula of the Menander, and above all to Dr. Ward-Perkins for taking up the suggestion and largely shaping the present project. This project is in a very real sense his brainchild, and it is as a tribute to his memory that we intend to continue with it and bring it to completion in the manner that he would have wished. Special thanks must also be given to Dr. Stefano De Caro, the Director of the site at Pompeii, who has been unfailingly courteous and helpful over the past five years, and to his henchmen, Dr. Federico, the assistant director, Sig. Pelli, the technical director, Sig. Cirillo, his assistant, and Sig. Sicignano, the head foreman, for their invaluable practical assistance. Finally, mention must be made of the chief members of the team. After a brief exploratory season in September 1978, full programmes of work have been conducted in August-September 1979, 1980, 1981 and 1982.

  • 200 Bc - Ad 400)
    ARAM, 13-14 (2001-2002), 171-191 P. ARNAUD 171 BEIRUT: COMMERCE AND TRADE (200 BC - AD 400) PASCAL ARNAUD We know little of Beirut's commerce and trade, and shall probably continue to know little about this matter, despite a lecture given by Mrs Nada Kellas in 19961. In fact, the history of Commerce and Trade relies mainly on both ar- chaeological and epigraphical evidence. As far as archaeological evidence is concerned, one must remember that only artefacts strongly linked with ceram- ics, i.e. vases themselves and any items, carried in amphoras, (predominantly, but not solely, liquids, can give information about the geographical origin, date and nature of such products. The huge quantities of materials brought to the light by recent excavations in Beirut should, one day, provide us with new evi- dence about importations of such products in Beirut, but we will await the complete study of this material, which, until today by no means provided glo- bal statistics valid at the whole town scale. The evidence already published still allows nothing more than mere subjective impressions about the origins of the material. I shall try nevertheless to rely on such impressions about that ma- terial, given that we lack statistics, and that it is impossible to infer from any isolated sherd the existence of permanent trade-routes and commercial flows. The results of such an inquiry would be, at present, worth little if not con- fronted with other evidence. On the other hand, it should be of great interest to identify specific Berytan productions among the finds from other sites in order to map the diffusion area of items produced in Beirut and the surrounding territory.

  • Amedeo Maiuri Ei Restauri Al Parco Archeologico Delle Terme Di Baia
    Alle origini di una difficile tutela: Amedeo Maiuri e i restauri al Parco archeologico delle Terme di Baia Luigi Veronese Dipartimento di Architettura dell’Università di Napoli Federico II, Italia pagina a fronte Abstract Fig. 1 The archaeological complex of Baia, near Naples, can be considered as one of Baia, Parco archeologico. Veduta the most beautiful and meaningful archaeological sites in Italy. Over the cen- aerea del complesso turies, Baia has undergone changing processes of different nature which have (da Baia 1983) profoundly altered the place. Nevertheless the gulf of Baia, with the ruins still visible, has always been a wonderful set for painters and writers during their Grand Tour in the Italian lands. When Amedeo Maiuri started his service at the Superintendence for Antiqui- ties of Campania and Molise, in 1924, the activity of the Neapolitan office was almost entirely directed at the continuation of excavation and restoration of the archaeological site of Pompeii. But in the new archaeological emphasis of the decades between the two World Wars, the digging out and restoration of the Baia complex, led by Amedeo Maiuri was undoubtedly a not yet well-known undertaking, which deserves to be deepened for the importance of the place and for the difficulties of its preservation. Premessa La recente istituzione del Parco archeologico dei Campi Flegrei, inserito tra gli istituti autonomi del Ministero dei Beni e delle Attività Culturali e del Turismo, ha certificato ufficialmente l’importanza strategica di un com- plesso di circa venti siti, di diversa grandezza, dislocati nella regione vul- canica a occidente di Napoli, i Campi Flegrei appunto1.
