Description: Since its discovery in the middle of the eighteenth century, Pompeii has fascinated scholars and nonexperts alike. The thrill of finding the ancient city -- buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in A.D. 79 -- was heightened by the rich history of this Roman town and her people. These four books -- official thematic guides to the archaeological site -- delve into life and culture in Pompeii by exploring scenes depicted in the city's copious artwork, including frescoes, sculptures, and mosaics.

This volume explores the nature of female beauty in ancient Rome by studying depictions of heavenly and earthly women in Pompeiian art. The first section discusses the care of the body: hygiene, cosmetics, coiffure, and perfume. The second section discusses adornments such as jewelry and clothing and explains how such items were distributed in the Roman world. Archaeology and art come together to offer insights into this fascinating subject.
