pompeiiinpictures June 2012: What's New?

Insula VI.9 has been considerably revised, adding pictures originally taken by Tatiana Warscher and held by the Deutsches Archäologisches Institut Rome.

We would like to thank the Deutsches Archäologisches Institut for the honour of allowing us to use their images, which remain their copyright. We would also like to thank Prof. Dr. Reinhard Foertsch, Universitaet zu Koeln, Archaeologischen Institut, for his enthusiasm and help.

The Warscher photographs have been a pleasure for us to input as they show so many features that are sadly no longer visible, including those lost in war damage. We feel they have considerably added to our coverage of VI.9. See The houses of Insula VI.9

Additionally we have updated 280 other pages to include new pictures, new plans and new information.

The DAI/Arachne images database is a valuable research resource hosted by the University of Cologne. See Arachne image database.

Inscriptiones Parietariae Pompeianae - CIL IV et suppl. partes I-II - On line (Arachne)

Since last year, the DAIR started to digitise all CIL volumes, in collaboration with other Roman libraries (AAR, EFR).
11 volumes have been released so far, with a free access after inscription. The first three volumes Pompeii are now on line, on Arachne (where some other Pompeian books are also available):
Inscriptiones parietariae Pompeianae, Herculanenses, Stabianae (CIL IV, first volume by R. Schoene).

Inscriptionum parietariarum Pompeianarum supplementum. Tabulae ceratae Pompeis repertae annis MDCCCLXXV et MDCCCLXXXVII (Jucundus' wax tablets, CIL IV, suppl. 1)

Inscriptionum parietariarum Pompeianarum supplementum. Inscriptiones parietariae et vasorum fictilium (Mau's supplement, CIL IV, suppl. 2).

All of this is more than useful, even some inscriptions might have been revised in the fourth supplement published last Dicember.
