The Women of Pompeii
It was 24 August 79 AD and the Roman City of Pompeii was busy
with it's everyday life. The women who lived there came from many walks of
life, high society, slaves, women in businesses, some were gladiators in a
man's arena, and of course the ladies of the night. They did not know on this
day Pompeii would be no more.
For many years I have had an interest in Pompeii and its art
works. The frescoes, statues, architecture, fountains, and graffiti have given
me a look into the lives of this Roman resort city.
