This volume presents a synthesis of research on Egyptian and Egyptianizing material from Pompeii. Starting from the historical context in which to frame these phenomena and proceeding with a review of terminology, the work provides the first up-to-date corpus of Egyptian and Egyptianizing subjects and finds from the famous archaeological site. An extraordinary corpus of Egyptian and Egyptianizing objects at Pompeii testifies to the long, complex, and fraught history of interaction between Egypt and ancient Italy. Statuettes and amulets of Egyptian gods, wall paintings and mosaics depicting imagined Egyptian landscapes, imports (and local imitations) of valuable Egyptian luxury goods, and many other forms of ‘Aegyptiaca’ were part of the fabric of daily life in Pompeii. These objects and images provide rich evidence for the appropriation, emulation, and re-interpretation of Egyptian material culture in Roman – and pre-Roman – Italy. Accordingly, they attest first to the participation of Samnite Pompeii in a broader ‘Hellenistic’-period material koine, and, subsequently, to the lived experience of empire under Roman rule. In collecting and presenting all of the known Egyptian and Egyptianizing material culture from Pompeii, as well as the historical documentation for the earliest finds of these objects (including many artifacts and images which no longer survive today), Bellucci’s book provides an essential resource for scholarship. This important contribution will be required reading for anyone who seeks to understand the entangled history of Egypt and the Greco-Roman world.Prof. Caitlín Eilís Barrett, Department of Classics, Cornell University – New York I reperti e i motivi egizi ed egittizzanti a Pompei. Indagine preliminare per una loro contestualizzazione, rappresenta la sintesi delle ricerche svolte dal dott. Bellucci su questa complessa e articolata tematica. Partendo dal contesto storico in cui inquadrare tali fenomeni e proponendo una riflessione terminologica al fine di offrire un lessico comune per future e auspicabili ricerche, l’opera raccoglie, mette in luce, definisce e fornisce un primo e aggiornato corpus dei soggetti e dei reperti egizi ed egittizzanti nel contesto pompeiano, permettendo così anche analisi più specifiche riguardo le diverse scene nilotiche presenti a Pompei. Inoltre, primi risultati di correlazioni tra affreschi e reperti consentono ora di comprendere meglio la distribuzione generale e particolare di questa varia tipologia espressiva valutandone la diffusione tra Regiones, Insulae e domus. Composta di due sezioni per un totale di nove capitoli, con cinque appendici di dati e tre tavole di supplemento fotografico, il volume offre inoltre una ricca e aggiornata bibliografia sul tema.
