Pompeii, a Different Perspective

We are pleased to let you know that we have completed our project documenting the facades of the structures along Via dell'Abbondanza in Pompeii, and that our book describing the work has recently been published by Lockwood Press in the United States.  The publisher's announcement below briefly describes the contents.  We have also updated our project website (www.pompeiiperspectives.org) to be a companion to the book. 

The North American book distributor is ISD, and the European distributor is the University of Exeter Press.  The book is also available from Amazon USA, Amazon Canada and Amazon UK.

Pompeii Insula VI.1 the finds

I’m very pleased to announce that my report on the small finds and vessel glass from the 1995-2006 excavations in Insula VI.1 at Pompeii has just been published by Archaeopress in their Archaeopress Roman Archaeology series. This is accompanied by a digital component that the Archaeological Data Service is hosting.  I’ve written a website to accompany the publication and that can be found at http://www.pompeivi1.com/

The website provides links to the publisher and the ADS resource, as well as the various papers that have already been published on the material.  The most recent of those was ‘Recreation or decoration: what were the glass counters from Pompeii used for?’, Papers of the British School at Rome 84 (2016), 157-77.

New paper: 'Una nota di archeologia campana: il Dioniso nel tipo 'Sardanapalo' dalla villa imperiale del Pausilypon a Napoli'

The big marble statue of so called 'Dionysos Sardanapalos' in London British Museum since 1883, from the Pausilypon in Naples, need to clarify some important points as well as its definitive chronology. This paper tries to solve these problems, offering a detailed analysis of the marble statue and of the documenst about its finding story.
