Don’t think I’ll be in a rush to get the latest #PinkFloyd #Pompeii release. If you can compare the last 2016 mix from the Early Years - Obfusc/ation, it’s lacklustre in parts esp. One of These Days IMHO. Pity. #CarefulWithThatCashEugene #Vinyl

A bit of a treat now, an original rockumantary featuring Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii.

Artist unknown
Flora (or Persephone or the allegory of Spring)
1st century AD
Fresco (38 x 32 cm)
National Archaeological Museum of Naples
This fresco was found in Villa Arianna in Stabiae. Stabiae was an ancient Roman city, or rather a string of luxury villas stretching along the coast, located on the western side of Italy, in the modern-day region of Campania. It was well known for its luxurious villas and rich maritime trade. The city was destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, along with the nearby city of Pompeii. The well-preserved remains of Stabiae, including frescoes and mosaics, offer a unique glimpse into the daily life and culture of ancient Rome. Among the many treasures discovered in Villa Arianna is the fresco of Flora, exhibited today in the National Archaeological Museum of Naples. It is a 38×32 cm fresco, created for the triclinium area of the Villa. The fresco depicts the goddess Flora, the Roman goddess of flowers and spring, surrounded by a variety of plants and flowers. In vibrant colors, intricate details, and naturalistic depictions of plants and flowers, the lovely Flora, a young girl shown with her back to us, delicately gathering spring flowers. Barefoot with a light step, her veil and the hem of her dress floating in the air, Flora turns suddenly to the side to pick a spring from a thin shrub with white flowers. Shown in a relaxed and carefree manner, the goddess is thought to reflect the changing cultural attitudes of the time, the increasing wealth and luxury of the Roman Empire, and may suggest a greater appreciation for the beauty and abundance of nature in ancient Campania.
