Pompeii Forum Project
Recent fieldwork and study by the Pompeii Forum Project allows us to expand and refine our understanding of the urbanistic development in the area of the Pompeii Forum, in the context of our previous interpretation of the overall state of Pompeii Forum studies (AJA 117 [2013] 461–92). In 2001, we conducted four excavations in the forum area, addressing questions raised by our excavations in 1997 (AJA 102 [1998] 739–56). Two trenches focused on th…
Pompeii Forum Project
This article details the most recent activities of the Pompeii Forum Project. Recent field studies and completion of the analysis of context materials from excavations in 1997 and 2001 allow a detailed appraisal of the early history of the Pompeii Forum from the Samnite period onward. The results are radical. The old so-called Altstadt theory for the birth of Pompeii and especially the belief in a grand Hellenized Samnite-phase city move into the…
The World of Pompeii
The region surrounding an active volcano is subject to very rapid changes ingeomorphology and environmental conditions. A new cone can be built up in a matter of months or a few years during periods of frequent lava flow eruptions, only to be destroyed by a violent Plinian explosive eruption and caldera collapse after centuries of dormancy. This intermittent pattern of activity is characteristic of the evolution of Vesuvius volcano, which suddenl…

Excavations in the Sanctuary of Apollo at Pompeii, 1997
Three test trenches were excavated in and near the Sanctuary of Apollo at Pompeii in 1997 to addres chronological, architectural, and urbanistic issues pertaining to the evolution of the sanctuary and its relationship to the forum and neighboring houses. An ostensible deformation in the street pattern at the northwest corner of the sanctuary and a legal inscription, CIL X, 787, also contribute to the analysis. Results point to an Augustan date fo…
Problems of Chronology, Decoration, and Urban Design in the Forum at Pompeii
This article offers an archaeological and structural analysis of the four main buildings on the east side of the forum at Pompeii and challenges widely published and generally accepted views about the forum. Major problems of chronology, decoration, and urban design are emphasized through a methodology that rejects the prevalent building-by-building approach to the forum in favor of an approach that allows the significance of the urban ensemble t…
