Supping and Sacrificing in Pompeii's Gardens

The archaeological evidence of garden dining spaces in Pompeii’s
houses, restaurants, and tombs reveals complexities of both Roman
dining practices and the meaning of the Roman garden Ashmolean
After Hours: Carpe Diem! Mount Vesuvius is thought to have begun
erupting on 24 October AD 79. Almost two thousand years later,
TORCH collaborated with the Ashmolean Museum for a special edition
of After Hours to 'seize the day' and celebrate all things Pompeii
and ancient Rome, with bite-sized talks from students and
researchers, and activities for all to enjoy. This event was part
of the Humanities Cultural Programme.
