On the Trail of the “Trembling” Pompeii (Italy)
Ancient Pompeii is known worldwide for having been destroyed by the Plinian eruption of Vesuvius in 79 CE. However, the city experienced a prolonged period of seismicity preceding the catastrophe, beginning with a major earthquake in 62 CE, the effects of which are identifiable in the archaeological structures. This study examines multiple lines of evidence for superimposed, ancient seismic damage in four contexts excavated between 2018 and 2025,…
Pompeian pigments. A glimpse into ancient Roman colouring materials
Decorative Principles Between the Public and Private Spheres in Pompeii
This paper attempts to analyse the relationship between decorated spaces and the choices made by both patrons and painters with respect to the production of that decoration. As a case study, we shall focus here on the Nilotic theme, which was ever-present in Pompeii during the period of the Fourth Style, in both public and private settings. A discussion of the meaning (or of various potential meanings) of these scenes, particularly in relation to…
From a stratigraphic sequence to a landscape evolution model
The Ancient Rural Settlement Structure in the Hinterland of Pompeii Inferred from Spatial Analysis and Predictive Modeling of Villae Rusticae
Pompeii, buried by the explosive A.D. 79 eruption of Somma‐Vesuvius, is one of the most studied ancient cities in the Roman world. However, until very recently, the rural settlement in its hinterland had been largely ignored by systematic archaeological research. The ancient landscape around Pompeii consisted of a dense network of Roman farms ( villae rusticae ). They are believed to have played a vital role in ancient rural life and economy and …
