In the prestigious setting of the Auditorium of the Pompeii Excavations, on November 15, 2024, at 17:13 PM, the new volume in the "Quaderni di Studi Pompeiani" series, published by the International Association "Friends of Pompeii" (ETS), will be presented. The work, titled "The House of C. Julius Polybius in Pompeii (IX, 1, 3-XNUMX) and the Bronzes of the Triclinium (EE)," was edited by archaeologists Fausto Zevi and Elsa Nuzzo.
### An in-depth analysis
This volume offers a comprehensive study of the triclinium bronzes discovered in the famous House of Julius Polybius in Pompeii. The analysis also extends to the historical and cultural context, studying the characteristics of the inhabitants and the architectural evolution of the house. While maintaining Samnite architecture, it underwent modifications up until the eruption of 79 AD, with the merging of two terraced houses at the end of the XNUMXnd century BC.
### Insights and restorations
In addition to describing the building's pictorial furnishings, the book presents an overview of Pompeii's triclinium furnishings, including a chapter dedicated to the restoration of the bronzes, carried out by the Central Institute of Restoration in Rome and the Opificio delle Pietre Dure in Florence.
