Part of the INSULA OF THE MENANDER AT POMPEII series
- Information
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.
