In Stabiano: Exploring the Ancient Seaside Villas of the Roman Elite October 9, 2006

This exhibition brings to light art objects and archaeological artifacts found in four ancient Roman villas overlooking the Bay of Naples and the modern city of Castellammare di Stabiae, which was stunningly well preserved by the same catastrophic eruption that buried Pompeii and Herculaneum in AD 79. The villas are recent archaeological finds and are part of an extended luxury resort, most of which has yet to be unearthed.
