Description
This book contains catalogues, analyses, photographs and drawings of some 2,000 archaeological artefacts excavated from the Insula of the Menander in Pompeii. The catalogues, and analyses are organized by provenance - buildings, rooms, and location within rooms - so that the reader can understand the artefacts as household assemblages. The functions of artefacts and groups of artefacts are discussed, as are the Latin names which are often given to these artefacts, and the relationships of these assemblages to the state of occupancy of the buildings in the Insula during the last years of Pompeii. This study, therefore, provides a wealth of information, not only on the range and use of artefacts in Pompeian houses but also on Roman artefacts, and Roman society, more generally. Thanks to Firestorm for seeding this. This is a re-up since I had to wipe my hard drive :) Please note this is Vol 3 The finds, by Penelope Allison. For some reason the ISBN gives Roger Ling and Paul Arthur as the authors; they wrote Vol I, The Structures. Sharing Widget |
