#Abrohilo 🧵¿Me acompañas de visita por Pompeya? Hoy vamos a visitar la Casa de los Ceii en la ciudadde #Pompeya. Imagina que nos adentramos a la ciudad por el sur, por la Puerta de Estabia, y nos desviamos hacia la derecha a la altura del templo de Esculapio ...
La Casa de los Ceii está localizada en al regiĂłn I, Ănsula VI y colinda con parte de la Casa del CriptopĂłrtico. Su accesso se abre a Vicolo del Menandro, que recibe su nombre por la cercana Casa del Menandro. Fue excavada entre 1913-1914 y destaca por su estado de conservaciĂłn
hacia el piso superior y una cocina con letrina, además de otras estancias. El vestĂbulo y el atrio están decorados con siguiendo el tercer estilo pompeyano, con zĂłcalo, alternancia de paneles negros y rojos, un friso superior de paneles blancos y motivos arquitectĂłnicos
Uno de los elementos que más me gustan de esta casa son los grafitos de combates entre gladiadores, con los nombres 'Oceanus, Aracintus, Severus y Albanus' sobre su cabeza...
🧵#Thread 🧵These #stunning watercolours and drawings of #Pompeii@pompeii_sites , by Luigi Bazzani (late 19th c., early 20th c.), invite us to travel 100+ years back in time. Let's stroll through this ancient city and experience the vivid colors of time found in its buildings
The remains of stone walls and façades we observe today along the streets of #Pompeii were, in fact, full of colors. Can you imagine for a minute what it was to stand at a crossroad or at the entrance of a house, flanked by many dipinti?
100+ ago we could even experience the vivid colours unveiled in the recent excavations of the thermopolium at Pompeii's Regio V in other thermopolia from the city, decorated with paintings, marbles and different iconographies
#Thread 🧵The Roman villa of #Carranque (Toledo) was built in the 4th century AD on top of the remains of an early imperial rural villa. The building is organised around a #peristlye and has #mosaics, 4 of them figured, in the majority of its spaces #Rome#history
One of the mosaics was displayed in a #cubiculum identified by an inscription and had a numbed female bust (probably an allegory of 'Felicitas') in a medallion, a scene of love and metamorphosis and other characters. The #inscription was displayed at the entrance of the room and
said "Ex Of(f)icing Mas[---]ni/ pignut Hirinius / utter Felix Materne / hune cubiculum" (H Epigr 177)
The discovery of a four-wheeled processional chariot in the suburban villa of Civita Giuliana has just been announced by @pompeii_sites. The villa is located in the northwest suburban area of #Pompeii and today I bring you this #thread reconstructing the history of this villa
In 1907-1908 the villa was discovered and 15 rooms were excavated, unveiling a residential and industrial complex. The residential area was organised around a peristyle and was decorated in the 3rd and 4th Pompeian styles...
In the industrial area a lararium or domestic altar and a torcularium for wine production were found. The looting of the site for illegal trafficking of antiquities through subterranean tunnels caused a joint collaboration between @pompeii_sites and public forces in 2017
