The cultural and artistic debt of Pompeii to Greece

Story at Los Angeles Times [English]

The Romans were seduced by the city’s past and the all-things Greek that infused daily life, including decorative and luxury arts such as paintings, sculptures, frescoes, and mosaics. In addition, Pompeii became a refuge from the rigors of city life as wealthy Romans including Emperor Augustus were bedazzled by the scenic beauty and the temperate Mediterranean climate.

Pompeii, which is near Naples, was buried under ash and pumice during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
