Vesuvius through a thorough analysis of the ancient sources. This article aims to develop Gigante’s thesis testing it against new archaeological evidence, and to demonstrate that the Vesuvian vineyards were perceived as an epiphany of Dionysos. A further aim is to define the distinctive features of the cults of Dionysos in Pompeii and Neapolis, also describing the place of other gods on the slopes of Vesuvius. In the final part, this article explores how and to what extent the Dionysiac background influenced the selection of ‘decorative’ pictures (esp. the recently discovered relief in Herculaneum).

Reconstructing the Funerary Landscape at Pompeii's Porta Stabia

Presently, four tombs stand outside the Porta Stabia: the two well-known semicircular benches (schola tombs) just outside the gate, and two lesser-known tomb podia located to the south, hidden behind an embankment and concealed under overgrowth. This situation does not reflect the ancient reality. This article repopulates the burial landscape around the Porta Stabia by examining the standing tombs as well as the excavation reports of tombs that were reburied following their discovery, concluding that the extensive necropolis around the Porta Stabia is not something that must be imagined; rather, it is well-documented and worthy of a place in future scholarship.
