"The figures appear to represent a married couple. Experts think the woman, who is holding laurel leaves, may have been a priestess."

A guide who survived. That’s how I’d describe the strange encounter I’ve been processing ever since. Mount Vesuvius and Pompeii have always been the crown jewels of Naples. Read the story at hikevent.com 👉 hikevent.com/vesuvius-and...

This small xenia (still life) depicts a rabbit nuzzling four figs. It may be exactly what it seems, or may have a deeper meaning. The rabbit is an animal of Venus (given its precocious reproduction), and figs frequently had sexual connotations. So perhaps this little still life was a wink and a nod to some hanky-panky. From Pompeii (signage from exhibitions it's been a part of describe it as from Herculaneum, but I don’t think anyone knows), and supposedly discovered in 1745. Dated ca. 45-79 CE. Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli (MANN inv. 8630)
#HappyEaster to all who celebrate. Let’s pretend that this xenia fresco panel from #Pompeii is a rabbit with colored eggs (instead of figs). 🐇 🏺

Four near complete eggs sitting in a black dish
Happy Easter!
Life imitating art. Fresco of dish of eggs from the Praedia of Julia Felix, #Pompeii and an exhibit of eggs that astonishingly survived the AD 79 eruption in Herculaneum. 🥚🥚🥚

A marble sculpture of a rabbit, crouched down on the ground, it's ears spread back, sniffing at a small basket of fruit.
#Easter bunny preparing for a visit?
#Roman marble sculpture that once adorned the space by a fountain, in front of a mosaic, in #Pompeii.
Do interpret as rabbit minding a basket of eggs rather than fruit if you wish....

View up a deserted via Stabiana with a water tower on the right hand side, stepping stones at the crossroads and the shop and house entrances lining the road that leads to the outline of mount Vesuvius above which a large white cloud forms against a blue sky.

Like most of the paintings and sculptures in #Pompeii this was moved the Naples Museum for safe-keeping and a replica left in its place. The reason they’re holding a pen and scroll is uncertain, but one plausible suggestion is that it’s their marriage certificate.

In addition to obvious substances such as laurel — native to the #Pompeii area — and grape residues, fragrances from very far away were also found, says study leader Johannes Eber: “It was new to us that fragrant resins actually came from India or the sub-Saharan region.”

Two thousand years ago, the people of #Pompeii offered incense to their gods in fireproof terracotta bowls & chalices. Until now, these incense burners have received little scientific attention. An international research team has now, for the first time, taken a closer look at the ash residues.
