Domesticating Empire

Egyptian Landscapes in Pompeian Gardens

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Domesticating Empire is the first contextually-oriented monograph on Egyptian imagery in Roman households, investigating the functions of Egyptian landscapes within domestic gardens at Pompeii. So-called "Aegyptiaca" helped transform domestic space into a microcosm of the Roman world and enabled ancient Pompeians to present themselves as cosmopolitan, sophisticated citizens of empire.
