In this informative talk, special guest Kelley Prendergast gives an overview of the art, architecture, and mythology surrounding the landscape and ancient gardens in temples and buildings throughout Pompeii.
This pictorial presentation explores some of the myths, religion, and symbols incorporated into the artworks of Pompeii, an ancient Roman city near modern Naples in Italy.
"In Pompeii, one of the most famous of the luxurious residences (domus) is the so-called House of the Vettii, preserved like the rest of the Roman city by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. The house is named for its owners, two successful freedmen: Aulus Vettius Conviva, an Augustalis, and Aulus Vettius Restitutus. Its careful excavation has preserved almost all of the wall frescos, which were completed following the earthquake of 62 AD, in the manner art historians term the 'Pompeiian Fourth Style.'" ~ Info from Wikipedia.
