  • Pompeii and the Roman Villa
    Pompeii and the Roman Villa ART AND CULTURE AROUND THE BAY OF NAPLES __________________________________________________________________________________________________ HE ANCIENT GREEK PHILOSOPHER EPICURUS STATED: “PLEASURE IS THE BEGINNING and end of living happily.” This statement rang true for prominent Romans who spent their leisure time in luxurious villas and houses in the towns of TPompeii, Herculaneum, and other ancient Roman towns that were centers of activity along the Bay of Naples in the first century BC and the first century AD. Epicurus’s philosophy appealed to many Romans who retreated to their country homes in the spring and summer months to enjoy a respite from their working lives in Rome. Pompeii, in the region of Campania, retained its Greek culture and character after becoming a Roman colony in 80 BC. The Romans considered Greece a source of culture, beauty, and wisdom, and knowledge of Greek culture was a status symbol that signaled refinement and education. Greek influence pervaded the decor of Roman residences around the Bay of Naples and was reflected in the works of art both acquired and emulated by Roman patrons. Some Romans, when on vacation, even wore Greek dress—such as a chiton for men or a peplos for women—rather than the standard toga of the day. These curriculum materials explore the cultural and artistic life in Pompeii and other towns around the Bay of Naples in the centuries leading up to the eruption of Vesuvius in the year 79. Two works of art, the mosaic Plato’s Academy (1st century BC–1st century AD) and the fresco Garden Scene (1st century BC–1st century AD), are examples of the embellishments applied to the gardens and interiors of Pompeian villas.

  • Fish Sauces – the Food That Made Rome Great by Benedict Lowe
    Fish Sauces – The Food that Made Rome Great By Benedict Lowe Recent research has done much to stress the importance of fish in the ancient Roman diet. But there were many ways to consume fish. The most popular way to consume fish was fresh: according to Seneca the Romans could not taste a fish unless they saw it swimming in the dining room! A mullet was not considered fresh unless it had died in the hands of the banqueter about to eat it. Ownership of elaborate fishponds seems to have been quite a fad in the Late Republic with Cicero ridiculing their owners as piscinarium tritones. L. Licinius Lucullus even had a channel cut through a mountain in order to supply his fishponds at Baiae with sea water – prompting Pompey to dub him Xerxes togatus after the King of Persia who crossed the Hellespont. Large salt-water fishponds can still be seen in the Roman villas along the coast south of Rome. Submerged Roman Fishpond, Formia. Such was the popularity of fish on the tables of the elite that it may have resulted in depleted supplies due to over-fishing, leading to higher market values and a reliance upon imports. In the first century CE, the commander of the fleet at Misenum – Optatus – brought live parrot wrasses (scari) from the Southern Aegean to Latium where he scattered them at Ostia and the Tiber mouth and along the coast of Campania – presumably to replenish fish stocks depleted by the demands of the city of Rome. The satirist Juvenal paints a harrowing contrast between the fish imported from Corsica and Sicily enjoyed by the host of a dinner party, and the Tiber river pike bloated on sewage that is consumed by his poorer guests.

  • 1 Pompeii Artifact Life History Project
    POMPEII ARTIFACT LIFE HISTORY PROJECT (PALHIP): GENERAL REPORT ON PROJECT OPERATIONS AND RESULTS, 2012-2016 J. Theodore Peña Project Director Department of Classics University of California, Berkeley, USA [Last revised March 3, 2019; July 10, 2018] INTRODUCTION This is a general report that summarizes the operations of and results obtained by the Pompeii Artifact Life History Project (henceforth PALHIP) during its first five study seasons (2012-2016). It also describes the work that has been done to date in planning for the project’s sixth study season (2018) and for study seasons beyond that. This document was composed upon the request of the Parco Archeologico di Pompei/Soprintendenza Archeologica Speciale per i Beni Archeologici di Pompei, Ercolano e Stabia (henceforth SAPES) in its letter of authorization for the PALHIP Summer, 2018 study season issued to the Project Director on May 2, 2018. GENERAL PROJECT OVERVIEW PALHIP was conceived of as a program of research that would shed light on aspects of the life history of Roman material culture at the town of Pompeii and some of the sites in its environs through the detailed characterization of sets of artifacts recovered in the course of previously completed excavations in contexts that promise to be particularly informative in this regard. Each of the studies of a particular group of materials is represented as a distinct “sub- project.” In the course of the first five years of its operations PALHIP has initiated five such sub-projects, bringing four of these to completion. The five sub-projects are as follows: Sub-Project 1: The study of the portable artifacts from the excavations of the Villa Regina a Boscoreale.

  • Digital Archiving of Somma and Pompei, Italy, 2008
    Digital Archiving of Somma and Pompei, Italy, 2008 CVL Italy Scanning Mission Members Shintaro Ono, Rei Kawakami, Takeshi Oishi, Tetsuya Kakuta Raita Kudoh, Shunsuke Kudoh, Katsushi Ikeuchi Somma and Pompei, located near Naples, Italy are both ruins that have ever been buried in volcanic ash by large eruption of Mt. Vesuvio. We digitally scanned them every year since 2003, thanks to the collaboration with Aoyagi-Matsuyama group in the Univ. of Tokyo. They are still unearthing the Somma site, and we scanned its yearly growth, and made use of the 3D model. In this mission during Sep. 24 - Oct. 7, 2008, we made a public demonstration twice, where the building structure before the disaster, prepared as a CAD model, can be overlaid onto the current actual scene by wearing a special goggle using MR technology. Pompei on the other hand is well unearthed and famous for a seeing spot. This time we mainly targeted textures and wall paintings in Casa del Menandro, Villa del Misteri, and most streets inside Pompei for modeling. New topics in the Pompei mission were: omnidirectional HDR texturing, improved color restoration and spectrum measurement robust to noise, street-view expression of the streets, etc. Publication [1] K.

  • POMPEI History the Extent of Pompeii Was About 66 Hectares, of Which
    POMPEI History The extent of Pompeii was about 66 hectares, of which two thirds have been excavated so far. Situated at the intersection of the two important streets that are at the origin of the foundation of the city, the present forum (38 x 142 m) does not date to earlier than the 2nd century BC. Its buildings, all public, seem to have been built there without any unified plan, before being regularised by the construction of a monumental portico. This portico does not exist in the north, where the short side is occupied by an arch, now completely stripped of its marble covering and its statues, next to which stands the temple of Jupiter that dominates the square, with a high podium typical of the Etruscan-Italic tradition; the sanctuary is divided into three parts corresponding to the deities of the Capitoline triad, Jupiter, Juno and Minerva. The opposite part of the square is occupied by three public buildings. On the long eastern side of the square, the macellum, the meat and fish market, whose wide courtyard is occupied in the middle by a circular building that encloses a fountain. The "temple of Vespasian" actually seems to have been dedicated to the imperial cult. This is followed by the Eumachia building (perhaps a slave market) and by the Comitium, where elections were held. The long west side was occupied by the temple of Apollo, the oldest in the city, and by one of the first examples of a three-nave basilica, datable to around 125 B.C. Of the various public buildings built near the forum, the most remarkable are the large baths and the Stabia baths in the northeast, dating back to the 2nd century B.C.

  • Archaeological Park of Herculaneum, Italy, MIBAC
    WHV - Archaeological Park of Herculaneum Archaeological Areas of Pompei, Herculaneum and Torre Annunziata, Italy Cultural property inscribed on the World Heritage 31/08/2019–14/09/2019 since 1997 Situated at the foot of Mount Vesuvius and just four miles south of Naples, Herculaneum was once a bustling seaside resort and trading port town. The archaeological area of Herculaneum is considerably smaller than its neighbour Pompeii, but in many ways is a unique place to visit. In fact, while roofs in Pompei collapsed under the weight of falling ash, only a few centimetres of ash fell on Herculaneum, causing little damage. Subsequently, there was a succession of six pyroclastic flows (a mixture of ash and gases), which then solidified. The good state of preservation of the site is due to its rapid filling by these flows, which prevented the buildings from collapsing. As a consequence, at Herculaneum there are many well-preserved buildings, several with the upper stories still intact, and some excellent frescoes and mosaics on both walls and floors to be seen. The pyroclastic flows of high temperature at once carbonized and exceptionally preserved organic matter, giving back to us a unique complex of common everyday objects such as textiles, foodstuffs, wooden furniture, architectural elements, and the hull of a sizable boat. Thus, Herculaneum really gives you an idea of how ancient Romans lived, that is only with difficulty achieved in other centres of the ancient world. Project objectives: The project works to share knowledge about the cultural heritage of the Herculaneum area between the local community and people from all over the world.

  • Datos De Archivo Bombardeo De Pompeya
    Registro documental del bombardeo de Pompeya en 1943 (Datos recogidos por Vance Tiede) Despite No-Bombing lists and map overlays intended to protect cultural sites and public works that are routinely prepared by Civil Affairs staff officers, commanders retain discretion in deciding when the military necessity has priority over collateral damage (see attached Allied_strategic bombing policy, http:// www.jamesmjasper.org/files/Dark_Side_of_Creativity.pdf , p. 103 at bottom). During the Battle of Salerno, both American and British Air Forces carpet-bombed Wehrmacht supply trains and combat units [16. Panzer-Division, reinforced later by elements of Panzer Division Hermann Goering, 26. Panzer Division, 15. Panzergrenadier Division, 29. Panzergrenadier Division, 3. Panzergrenadier- Division (two battalions only), and 1. Fallschirmjaeger-Division (elements)] counter-attacking to wipe out the Allied beach head at Salerno, 12-14 September 1943. http://www.history.army.mil/armyhistory/AH67%28W%29.pdf, pages 6-18. http://www.history.army.mil/books/wwii/salerno/sal-germancntr.htm In the case of Pompeii, British Vickers Wellington III bombers of RAF No. 40 Squadron based at Hani West Airfield, Tunisia, North Africa attacked Wehrmacht troop concentrations, roads, bridges, train lines and marshalling yards in the vicinity of the port of Pompeii in nighttime air raids 13 and 15 September 1943, and RCAF No. 424 Squadron also attacked the same targets in a night raid on 13 September 1943. American B-17s/B-24/B-25s of the 12th Bombardment Command, XII USAAF attacked the same region in daylight on 14 September 1943. Therefore, only an analysis of the bomb fragments or unexploded ordnance can determine whether USAAF of RAF bombs fell in the archaeological zone of Pompeii (see attached AFHR Maxwell AFB Research Request, http://www.afhra.af.mil/main/contactus.asp ).
