Gathering flowers to add your cornucopia is clearly the very best way to enjoy a spring day. This fresco fragment is often identified as Flora and was found in the Villa of Ariadne in Stabiae. Now held in the MAN Napoli.

While the chill of autumn is in the air over in the Antipodes, we long for the spring of our neighbours in the northern realms.

This relief is from an ossuary designed to commemorate a freedman, Epaphra, by Lucius Cornelius Atimetus. They seem to share a business relationship involving the production of knives and this scene shows the shop where they sell the knives.

Hopefully your Monday is going better than this poor fish, who seems to be in a bit of a funk. An observation made all the more reasonable by the fact that they only have two clams for company and appear to be swimming over a fish graveyard

This #FrescoFriday we journey to the heart of Pompeii and a recently discovered fresco from Block 10 in Regio IX. This gorgeous figure is thought to be an allegorical representation of Agriculture, coming complete, as she does with a plough and some deliciously ripe fruits.

The fact that Pompeii continues to offer archaeologists and historians new insights even after so many years of exploration of the site is truly astonishing. We have so much to learn and so much to appreciate about the role of art in the lives of the residents in Pompeii.

Pompeii was a prosperous but not overly large town and it holds up the possibility of just how grand the designs and artistry of other places in the Roman world may have been.
