So-called Antioch Mosaic, second half of 2nd century; Late Antonine Roman H. 7 ft. 5 in. (2.26 m) Purchase, Joseph Pulitzer Bequest, 1938 (38.11.12) This rectangular panel, representing the entire decorated area of a floor, was found in 1937 in part of a Roman villa excavated at Daphne, a summer resort near the ancient city of Antioch (in southern Turkey). The central emblem contains the bust of a female figure, probably a generic personification of abundance and good living. The figure wears a garland of flowers around her head and another over her left shoulder. Surrounding the emblem is a geometric pattern of squares and lozenges set at various angles to give the impression of three-dimensional cubes. Antonine mosaics depart from the Hadrianic preference for small, fine tesserae; instead, they employ larger tesserae that result in fewer gradations and more expressionistic forms. Mosaic
“You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, “I lived through this horror.

'Not just the best book of photographs of one of the greatest - and most photographed - places on earth but, amazingly (and appropriately), a book one can live in' Geoff Dyer 'Spina's seductive photographs chronicle the lush interiors, the rich mosaics and frescoes and a vivid urban streetscape. A visual feast' Best books of 2023 - Edwin Heathcote, Financial Times A visually stunning, intimate photographic tour of Pompeii's spaces, including many that have never been seen by the public. Pompeii, one of the most astonishing and well-preserved sites of classical antiquity, is also one of the world's most visited architectural sites. This lavish volume takes readers on a tour of Pompeii through an array of visually compelling and original photographs by Italian artist Luigi Spina. Produced in partnership with the Parco Archeologico di Pompei, readers are expertly guided through the Roman city's nine districts, including many hidden corners that are inaccessible to most visitors. Pompeii's architecture is a central feature of the images, which were shot at all times of day, in all seasons, and in natural light. Lacy peristyles and rows of column fragments give way to intimate, atmospheric interior spaces. Mosaic floors and beautiful - albeit fragmentary - wall paintings are reproduced with stunning fidelity and sensitivity. The book also includes an essay by Gabriel Zuchtriegel, director of the Pompeii archaeological park, and several meditations on the history, architecture and natural beauty of the city. Inside Pompeii provides the wondrous experience of wandering through this remarkable site without ever leaving home. 448 Illustrations, color
