What a privilege to see the wild boar mosaic up close today. The blood spot in the eye, the redness in the mouth and the blueish tesserae making up the diffused shadows. Quite the welcome in the entrance hall of the recently conserved House of the Boar, #Pompeii #MosaicMonday

For a little glimpse into the work of Wilhelmina, who studied the various gardens of Pompeii and other Vesuvian sites in order to understand how the Romans used these spaces, here’s a short thread on just one example:.
Delighted that the new visitor route in #Pompeii takes you through the garden of the House of Ship Europa. The garden was excavated by Wilhelmina Jashemski in 1973 & is bursting with lovely clues relating to the owners of the property.Images: Jashemski 1979 The Gardens of Pompeii

Delighted to see the newly mounted info panel explaining the process of casting the tree roots outside the Large Gymnasium, #Pompeii. And yards away is my panel on the women who worked here, including Wilhelmina Jashemski who used this technique prolifically in Pompeii’s gardens.
