  • 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.

Several veterans thought the Fifth was the best yet, and so it was said about all the previous ones. We like to think it’s because we are learning to do things better, rather than that an Olympic- style ritual declaration of the ‘best ever Games’ is taking hold. Yet that would be no bad thing, either; the pronouncement, however much expected, always meets with gleeful and often justified assent. Things nearly got off to a very bad start. Something not far short of an official hurricane (‘poco ci mancava’, said my taxi driver, ‘there wasn’t much in it’) struck the Monday before arrival and, though it miraculously harmed no one in Ercolano and damaged no archaeology, it did uproot trees, mangle safety barriers and create other hazards such that the site had been closed all week, only opening again on the morning we intended to visit. The Superintendency, which this year has been particularly disorganised in the matter of issuing permits, had not yet issued ours, and there was much anxiety Thursday night as to what would happen the next day.

The Conference narrow space could accommodate only three or four tightly Robert Fowler squeezed people at a time. 2. 3. 4. The Suburban Baths 1. The Gardens of the Miglio d’Oro The Friends met 11–13 June for their third gathering in Campania since 2006, in what is now an established biennial tradition. For repeat attenders it felt like a reunion, while at the same time it was gratifying to welcome a good number of newcomers. For the first two meetings we resided in Naples (hence the First and Second ‘Naples’ Congresses), but for this one we moved out to Ercolano itself, a prospect made enticing by the opening of the four-star Miglio D’Oro hotel, a spectacular, done-over 18th-century villa which made up in atmosphere—especially the garden—what it (so far) lacks in abundance of staff (in some areas). The experiment was judged successful both for its convenience and for the benefit we were able to deliver to the local economy, not just the Miglio D’Oro but to B&Bs and local businesses.

  • Roman Woman, Culture, and Law by Heather Faith Wright Senior Seminar
    Roman Woman, Culture, and Law By Heather Faith Wright Senior Seminar: HST 499 Professor John L. Rector Western Oregon University June 5, 2010 Readers Professor Benedict Lowe Professor Laurie Carlson Copyright @ Heather Wright, 2010 2 The topic of my senior thesis is Women of the Baths. Women were an important part of the activities and culture that took place within the baths. Throughout Roman history bathing was important to the Romans. By the age of Augustus visiting the baths had become one of the three main activities in a Roman citizen’s daily life. The baths were built following the current trends in architecture and were very much a part of the culture of their day. The architecture, patrons, and prostitutes of the Roman baths greatly influenced the culture of this institution. The public baths of both the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire were important social environment to hear or read poetry and meet lovers. Patrons were expected to wear special bathing costumes, because under various emperors it was illegal to bathe nude. It was also very important to maintain the baths; they were, at the top of the Roman government's list of social responsibilities. The baths used the current trends in architecture, and were very much a part of the culture of the day. Culture within the Roman baths, mainly the Imperial and Republican baths was essential to Roman society. The baths were complex arenas to discuss politics, have rendezvous with prostitutes and socialize with friends. Aqueducts are an example of the level of specialization which the Romans had reached in the glory days of the Republic.

  • Pompeii and Herculaneum: a Sourcebook Allows Readers to Form a Richer and More Diverse Picture of Urban Life on the Bay of Naples
    POMPEII AND HERCULANEUM The original edition of Pompeii: A Sourcebook was a crucial resource for students of the site. Now updated to include material from Herculaneum, the neighbouring town also buried in the eruption of Vesuvius, Pompeii and Herculaneum: A Sourcebook allows readers to form a richer and more diverse picture of urban life on the Bay of Naples. Focusing upon inscriptions and ancient texts, it translates and sets into context a representative sample of the huge range of source material uncovered in these towns. From the labels on wine jars to scribbled insults, and from advertisements for gladiatorial contests to love poetry, the individual chapters explore the early history of Pompeii and Herculaneum, their destruction, leisure pursuits, politics, commerce, religion, the family and society. Information about Pompeii and Herculaneum from authors based in Rome is included, but the great majority of sources come from the cities themselves, written by their ordinary inhabitants – men and women, citizens and slaves. Incorporating the latest research and finds from the two cities and enhanced with more photographs, maps and plans, Pompeii and Herculaneum: A Sourcebook offers an invaluable resource for anyone studying or visiting the sites. Alison E. Cooley is Reader in Classics and Ancient History at the University of Warwick. Her recent publications include Pompeii. An Archaeological Site History (2003), a translation, edition and commentary of the Res Gestae Divi Augusti (2009), and The Cambridge Manual of Latin Epigraphy (2012). M.G.L. Cooley teaches Classics and is Head of Scholars at Warwick School. He is Chairman and General Editor of the LACTOR sourcebooks, and has edited three volumes in the series: The Age of Augustus (2003), Cicero’s Consulship Campaign (2009) and Tiberius to Nero (2011).

I thank the Gods for saving me right off when I was in danger at sea but now the oracles have told me that I will pass from this realm. Please arrive to me, most trusted of Gods, for I will host one last banquet in Their name, and name my successor from amongst you before I perish. All my best!” W h i l e t h e hor de s of bar bar i an s advance to Rome strangers meet at the strangest villa for one final grasp for power. Alliances - intimate and political - must be forged. Who emerge victorious? ABOUT THIS GAME Insanity in the time of Rome is a story game for three to six players. Each player controls one of the characters in a maddening orgy at the end of the Roman Empire. The barbarians are at the gates of the eternal city but the characters are still grasping for personal gain and power. It is most likely that not all of the characters survive this story - but is up to the players to tell that story and find out what happens.

  • NACCP News Fall 10.Indd
    NEWSLETTER No. 40, Autumn 2010 What a Week at the Shore with the Caecilians! July workshop participants find a shady spot for a photograph in the atrium of Caecilius’ house. Photo from Shannon Stieg. Below, Melody Hannegan, NACCP Workshop Coordinator, reports on the success of this ambitious project. Only a year and a half has passed since the inception of our work on the NACCP Castellammare-based workshop, and I cannot believe it is now a fond memory. My initial goal was to offer an affordable opportunity for Cambridge Latin Course teachers to experience an intensive week in the area that Caecilius called home and that so many of us call home today in our classrooms. As is the case with any trip to the shore, we encountered unavoidable circumstances such as excessive heat, a lack of air-conditioning, lost luggage and sometimes-noisy neighbors countered by gorgeous scenery, breezes in the shade, newly-discovered sights, and mouth-watering culinary delights. What really made the trip, however, were the people involved. I would like to acknowledge Audrey Fastuca and the staff at the Vesuvian International Institute in Castellammare di Stabia for housing and feeding us so graciously during our stay in Italy. In addition, Audrey led our tour of the two Stabian villas and arranged for a wonderful presentation by Synaulia, an in-residence group of musicians and dancers of ancient music. Many thanks to Domenica Luisi at Georgia Hardy Tours for arranging air transportation. Giovanni Fattore served as our able Italian tour guide at most of the archaeological sites.
