Pompeii, new excavations bring to light a monumental tomb with a high relief depicting a married couple.
Recent excavations in the Porta Sarno funerary area of Pompeii have led to the extraordinary discovery of a monumental tomb adorned with a life-size relief depicting a married couple. This exceptional find, a result of the "Investigating the Archaeology of Death in Pompeii Research Project," sheds new light on the funerary practices, religious beliefs, and social structure of the ancient Vesuvian city.
A megalography on the mysteries of Dionysus emerges in insula 10 of Pompeii's Regio IX
More than 100 years after the discovery of the Villa of the Mysteries, a major new fresco sheds light on the mysteries of Dionysus in the classical world. In a large banquet hall excavated in recent weeks in the central area of Pompeii, in insula 10 of Regio IX, an almost life-size frieze, or “megalography” (from the Greek for “large painting”-a cycle of large-figure paintings), has emerged, circling around three sides of the room; the fourth was open to the garden.
