PORTRAYAL OF POMPEIAN BACCHUS This book is about the Portrayal of Bacchus in Pompeii. The topic is much studied, and the ancient texts and works of art are mainly well known. The intention of this study has been to collect the various factors together, not only some examples. This idea came from the need to understand better the wall paintings and sculptures in the House of Marcus Lucretius (IX 3. 5.24).
