The Insula of the Menander is one of the most completely excavated city blocks in Pompeii, with buildings ranging from small shops to large aristocratic houses. This volume, the third in a series of five volumes examining the Insula, is the first ever comprehensive study of the contents of Pompeian houses and buildings within their original contexts. It provides a great insight into living conditions in Pompeii during the final years of the city.

Volume III: The Finds, a Contextual Study

The Insula of the Menander at Pompeii

Professor of Classical Art and Archaeology Roger Ling

This is the first of three volumes which offer a detailed analysis of one of the major city-blocks in ancient Pompeii, an archaeological site of international renown, but one on which few surveys have been published. Volume one deals with the architecture within the block, the largest structure of which is the House of Menander, one of the grandest mansions of the city. Subsequent volumes will consider the decorations and objects found during excavation.
