Verde pompeiano
Authors: Annamaria Ciarallo. Editions L'Erma di Bretschneider
This lavishly illustrated book shows us the many uses of plants in every day Pompeian life. They were found in foods, textiles, cosmetics, and medicine. The author has studied frescoes that were kept intact and plants that were burned in the eruption of Mount Vesuvus. She gives us a comprehensive overview of the relationship between man and nature in Pompeii before the town was engulfed by the eruption of Vesuvus in 79 A.D.
