The insula of the Menander at Pompeii

This is the first of three volumes which offer a detailed analysis of one of the major city-blocks in ancient Pompeii, an archaeological site of international renown, but one on which few surveys have been published. Volume one deals with the architecture within the block, the largest structure of which is the House of Menander, one of the grandest mansions of the city. Subsequent volumes will consider the decorations and objects found during excavation.
