Day 71.

The last day in Ravenna has passed by and I found, to my great joy, an exhibition on Stabia which is one of the towns from 79 AD (Together with Oplontis, Pompeii and Herculaneum).


A lararium from Stabia. A lararium is a household altar where the domestic divinities are celebrated.


A fresco depicting a boar hunt.


A stucco from a bath in Stabia. It's lovely to see it close up for once.


Another stucco, I couldn't resist to post another one.

Day 63.

Another beautiful day in Rome. I've had the great pleasure to see a lecture on the mathematics of Cicero, Varro and Vitruvius, followed by a walk to the Piazza del Popolo to see the fotball fans. Crazy lot.

There was also a vernisage at the Romanian academy (Day 7) where Amanda, a young lady from the Swedish institute, is showing her work.


Amanda's trees. Absolutely beautiful!
