This richly illustrated volume highlights various depictions of the heavenly and heroic pantheon of ancient Rome, while the text explores both the general characteristics of Pompeiian painting and their specific treatment of gods and heroes.
Ernesto De Carolis heads the restoration laboratory at the excavation office of Pompeii and is the author of several publications on the Vesuvian region.
