Pr. IyfT, whose Admirable work on the
topography of Koine we noticud a yar auil a
half ago, deserves tlm thauka of the. public for
the talent and indiiHtry he has brought to bear
', upon a subject only second in importance to
the Imperial ('ity itself the hmtory and anti
quities of Pompeii. The book in its present
form is based on one originally written for tho
Society for the IMIlnsion of Useful Knowledge
between thirty and forty years ago. Hut so
great has been the progress pfl'eeted since In
.the excavation of Pompeii, that the presnnt
compilation may be regarded as almost a new
and ii)depeudent work. Besides consulting
carefully the best and most recent authorities,
the author made frequent visits to Pompeii
during a residence at NapU in the winter of
WG5-6, and was thus ent.tled to correct his
rreTious compilations by the aid of impres
ts gained while the process of exhumatiou
was still fresh or In progress before L.s eyes.
The result is naturally to throw into the de
scription an air of freshness and reality which
waa hardly possible in the case of site or edi
flwsso well worn as those of Rome.
To those who have not access io the large
and costly illustrations of the Niccolinis, or
in the careful plans and monographs of the
Commend atore Fiorelli, the present able and
indefatigable director of the excavations, the
little volume before ns will present in a mode
rate compass, and in a very readable shape,
the leading points of recent discovery, together
with the conclusions of the best and latest
archaeologists upon the questions of art or
history thence arising. A summary of the
literature connected with Pompeii enables the
reader to follow the track of discovery from
tho outset a century ago, and to pursue his
studies by the light of the most approved
' authorities at every point. While serving as
a succinct history of the progress of excava
tion, the book is so arranged as to form a com
plete and handy guide for the use of visitors
on the Epot. The process of excavation, car
ried on by fits and starts for more than a
century, until pursued with some system
and energy by the present administration,
has resulted in laying open to view, up to
the present time, a third part or so of the
presumed area of the city, which originally
comprised about one hundred and sixty
acres. Its circuit was about two miles in
extent, of an oval shape, the apex lying in the
direction of the amphitheatre, or towards the
southeast. The excavated part lying towards
the western side seems to have been that which
contained the principal public buildings the
forum, the basilica, the theatres, the public
baths, and the most conspicuous temples. It
is scarcely to be hoped, in consequence, that
the labors of future generations of excavators
will be rewarded by any sensation equal to
that produced in the years 1824 and 1858 by
the disoovery of the spacious and elegant ther
mal. Still there may remain work for our
great-grandsons, with any amount of recom
pense in treasures of art, or possibly of
literature. Considering,, too, that the most
Spacious and costly of private dwellings,
the house of Diomedes, lies beyoud the
walls, there is scarcely a limit to the area
within which patient research may look
for its harvest, particularly since the
new and energetic directorate does so much to
guide the steps of the excavator, and to pre
serve the products of his toil. As it is, we
are often left to sigh over the loss or waste of
objects which the amount of intelligence and
skill now at hand would most assuredly have
spared to us.
The style of the earliest remains found in
Pompeii does much to bear out the legendary
r half-mythical notices which assign to this
town, as well as to its ueighbor and fellow
victim, Ilerculaneum, a. Greek origin. To
what date we are to attribute the Oscan occu
pations spoken of by Strabo, and whether we
are to follow him in identifying that people
with the Tyrrhenians or Pelasgians, may be
open to doubt. At an early though uncer
tain period, Cumie was certainly founded
fcy a colony from Chalcis, in Kulxaa; and Par
thenope, afterwards Neapolis, now Naples,
was an offshoot from thence. The name of
Pompeii maybe held decisive of its Greek
origin, though we need not commit ourselves
to the etymology of Soliuu3 in tracing it to
pompe, in allusion to the expedition of Her
cules. The masonry of the city is in parts
identical with that in use in early Greek for
tifications, and characters have been met with
upon some of the stones which are described
, by MazoiB as either Oscan or early forms of
the Greek alphabet. The lower portions of
the wall are of the rough and irregular kini,
called by the ancients opus incertum, while the
Tipper and most modern portions are com
posed of the isodomum, or more regular
courses of Greek work. Like the most
ancient fortresses of Greece, those of Tiryns
and Myceme, they were without towers,
which seem to have been inserted at regular
intervals during the Roman period. The
gates of which seven are traceable, be
sides what is called the Porta della marina,
on the western side, now the principal en
trance are of Roman construction. In
the area of the forum trianyulare, on the
west side of the larger theatre, are the re
mains of a temple much dilapidated, of un
questionably Greek character. The capi
tals of the columns are of Greek Doric, of
which order is also the small monopteral
building close at hand covering a puleal,
from whence the water required in the
temple was drawn. This temple, which, from
its situation, size, arrangement, and style
of art, is one of the most important build
ings in Pompeii, is dated by the Count de
CUrao as early as the eighth oentury, B. C.
It must in that case be regarded as one
of the most ancient specimens of Greek
art extant, and must have been erected by
the Greek colonists long before the subjuga
tion of the city by the Romans. It is sup
posed to have been dedicated to Hercules.
It is thought that the basement of the tem
ples both of Jupiter and Venus may be
likewise of Greek construction. The greater
number of the publio buildings, however,
are of Roman date, or at all events have
been modified or rebuilt by Romans, as the
inscriptions in many cases testify. The
theatres and amphitheatres, the baths, and
triumphal arches are entirely of this most
recent order. The forum, with its splendid
colonnades, lias ceen carried down by Over
beck as possibly later even than the earth
qu'.ke of 03 A. D. These buildings will be
found minutely described in Dr. Dyer's
pages, with the aid of admirable woodcuts
of their present state and occasional restora
tions of much skill and taste.
The second part of the volume treats of the
domestic architecture of Pompeii as illustrated
by its private houses, shops, and the works of
art and utility found iu them. The reader is
thus enabled to realize with extreme vividness
the ordinary daily life of a Roman city.
Among other objects of new and curious inte
rest we may mention tli characteristic signs
which mark out the variouB shops, taverns,
IS places of business. These are in some
"anes figured in baked clay and colored in
others painted on the walls. Over wine-shop,
JwoVn carry an amphora slung on a pole.
(Tver JWrtJr gati nntSs& to innate
the trade of a milkman. Here a largo statue
of rriapus points out the shop of an amulet-maker.
A rude painting of two men
fighting, while the master stands by holding
a laurel crown, marks a fencing establish-'
ment, or school of gladiators. A painting
of one boy horsed on another's back, and
undergoing flagellation, is an ominous Indi
cation thut the schoolmaster was there at
home. An iun in t-he newly-discovered Via
del I.vpanare bore the sign of an elephant
enveloped by a large serpent, and tended
by a pigmy. This no longer exists. On
the door-posts of another tavern were painted
some checkers. Into the edifice of ill-repute
which cave Its name to that street, the
writer, for obvious reasons, forbears to
conduct his readers. That a similar degree
of caution was .not unknown at the time
when the golden youth of Pompeii might
plead the authority of Cato for venturing
within those dangerous precincts, we have
a highly curious prcof. On the walls of a
villa hard by the forum Boarium, or cattle
market, was found an inscription, by way of
advertisement, to the effect that " on the
estate of Julia Felix, daughter of ypurius, aro
to let a bath, a venereum, nine hundred shops,
with booths and garrets, lor a term of live con
tinuous years from the first to the sixth of the
ides of August." The notice concludes with
the formula S. Q. D. L. K. N. C, which is
taken by Romanelli to stand for si ui.i domi
lawcinium exerciat nr. condurito "let no one
apply who keeps a brothel." We get many a
curious insight into the common or lower life
of Pompciaus from the numerous yrojfiti, or
rude scratchings and scribblings iii chalk or
paint, with which the walls abound. Many a
party cry or political dislike, or even the rough
PtSoenniue chaff of the streets, has here
come down to us in expressive, though often
very dubious, Latim'ty, or is embodied iu
outlines of a rude but often highly grotesque
art. A more than common refinement of
taste is met with when, in the back-room of a
therniopolium, is scrawled the first lino of the
lineid. Perhaps, of all the relics of eighteen
centuries here laid bare, what most touches
the feelings is the reproduction in plaster of
the group of bodies found in the year 18(i;j.
By the skill of iSignor Fiorelli in filling up the
cavity left in the soft lapilli by the decay of
these human forms, the figures are moulded
in all the ghastly reality of the death-struggle.
In the pair engraved by Dr. Dyer, which is
probably familiar to many of our readers as
a stereoscopic group, the 'profile of the young
girl is plainly to be traced. Her little
hands clench her veil round her head in
the last struggle to keep the mouth free.
while her feet are drawn up in agony. The
smooth young skin looks ir. the plaster like
polished marble. The woman, probably the
mother, who lies feet to feet with her, lies
quietly ou her side. Her arm3 hung loosely '
down. Her finger still bears her coarse iron
ring. Besides this group, Nicolini gives the
hgure of a man of the lower classes, perhaps
a soldier, of colossal size, who has laid him
self down calmly on his back to await death.
'His dress consists of a short coat or jerkin,
and tight-fitting breeches of some coarse stuff,
perhaps leather. Heavy sandals, with soles
studded with nails, are laced tightly round
his ankles." On one finger is seen his iron
ring. His features are strongly marked, the
mouth open as in death. Some of the teeth
still remain, and even part of tho moustache
adheres to the plaster." We are sorry to
find the affecting story of the sentry found
erect in his box, still grasping his lance,
dismissed as a fable. Much doubt has been
attached to the recent report of an amphora
of stone having been met with, closely sealed,
half full of water. It may be remarked, how
ever, that the bronze cock of a water-pipe was
found at Capri in which the metal joints had
been hermetically closed by rust for seventeen
or eighteen centuries, yet which, on being
shaken, gives audible proof of the water being
still unabsorbed within. It may be added that
the numerous metal pipes met with in Pom
peii, together with the general arrangements
of the fountains, place beyond doubt ti e tact,
which has so frequently been questioned, that
the property of water to find its level wa3 well
known at that epoch.
It has naturally been throughout a ques
tion of the liveliest interest whether Pom
peii might be found to yield any trace of
the new religion pushing its way among the
inmates of the classical Pantheon. On this
important point the ruins have heretofore been
silent. The only indication of Christianity
which ha3 ever been held plausible depends
upon an unsatisfactory story told by Mazois.
In one of the row of small shops extending
along one side of the so-called house of Pansa,
when newly discovered, there was found on
the wall of the passage leading to the posticum
a Latin cross marked in bas-relief upon a panel
of white stucco. This wall, being at the end
of the passage, and directly facing the street,
was in full view of the passers-by. On this
symbol Mazois founded the conjecture that the
owner of the shop was a Christian. No vestige
of the cross now remains, and we find it
difficult, with ,Dr. Dyer, to conceive, even
were the cross in use at that time among
Christians, that any one should have ven
tured to exhibit that sign of the religion so
publicly as this. Mazois himself, too, was
puzzled to account for the juxtaposition of
this symbol with the ordinary Pagan emblems.
Could the same man at once bow bofore the
cross of Christ, and pay homage to Janus,
Ferculus, Limentinus, Cardia, the deities of
the thresholds and the hinges of doors f Still
more, could he adore it in combination with
the guardian serpent3 of Fsculapius, or with
the obscene emblem of an incomprehensible
worship, possibly Orphic or Mithraio, which is
over the hearth. The Commendatore Fiorelli
explicitly denies that any Christian symbols
have been discovered at Pompeii. " It is said,
indeed," writes Dr. Dyer, "that in a house in
this Via del Lupanare may be traced written in
charcoal a yrajjito with the letters, . . NI
GAUDII. . .' IIRISTIANI; which have
with so slight probability been supplemented
i 7nt yaudc, Chrissiane ("rejoice in the
fire, Christian"). Dr. Dyer has clearly not
seen this inscription himself, and neither the
reading itself nor the interpretation seems to
us at all satisfactory. If rightly read, the
words proceeded at all events from a Pagan,
and they may have reference, Dr. Dver sug
gests, to the burning of Christians at Rome
iu the time of Nero. They are as likely to
refer to the charge of setting Rome ou fire
brought against the Christians. We should
like more direct evidence of the basis of the
whole story. Evidences of Egyptian worship
are not infrequent. An elegant temple disin
terred next to that of Fsculapius is shown
by an inscription over the entrance to
have been dedicated to Itsis, to have been
overthrown by an earthquake, and to
have been restored by Nuineiius (or
Nonnius) Popidius Celsinus, at his own ex
pense. This earthquake was probably that
of the year C',5 A. D., sixteen years before the
destruction of the city. From this temple
w ere taken the Liuioua Isiao table of basalt
now in the Museum at Naples. This line
relief contains fourteen figures, thirteen of
which are turned towards the first, which is
supposed to represent Osiris. Beneath are
twenty-five lines of hieroglyphics, which have
Wen Interpreted by M. Chanipolllon Jls to be
an invocation of Miris or Isia. Jt isr how-
ever, denounced by Overbeck aft a sham. In
a niche on the court wall fronting the temple
stood a painted figure of Higaloon or Hurpo
crates, otherwise called Orus, the nonof Osiris.
Beneath this was a shelf, intended perhaps to
receive offering), and under it a board, sup
posed to be for the knees of the worshippers.
In another part of the court was found a loau
tiful statue of Isis, with the sistrum and the
key of the Nile sluices, her drapery painted
purple, and in part gilt. From several of
the pictures and bas-reliefs we obtain inter
esting evidence of the influence exercised
by classic symbolism upon Christian art. An
instance of this occurs in the ugly conven
tional glory with which the heads of sacred
personages are commonly encircled. This
usage was borrowed by the Italian painters
from the Greek artists of the lower Fuapire, in
whose paintings it generally assumes the ap
pearance of a solid plate of gold. In a small
Louse at Pompeii, decorated with subjects
from the Odyssey, a painting of Ulysses and
Circe was copied by Mazois in 1812, which is
remarkable as exhibiting the head of Circe
crowned with a halo of aureole of this precise
kind. The outer limb or circumference is
solidly , and sharply defined, not shaded off,
and divided into rays, as we usually see it in
woiks of the Italian school. This painting
has since perished. A similar aureole sur
rounds the grand figure of Jupiter in the house
of Zephyrus and Flora. The god is here sit
ting in a contemplative attitude, the eagle at
his feet, and his golden sceptre in his hand.
His mantle is of violet color, and lined with
azure, the throne and footstool are golden, or
namented with picturesque stones, a green
drapery covering tho back of the throne.
These pictures, like most of those discovered
at Pompeii, were executed on the plaster of
the wall. It appears, however, that movable
pictures were not unknown. In the
handsome house in the street of
Stabi.'c, excavated in 1847, and as
signed on the evidenee of an inscription to
M. Lucretius, a Flamen of Mars and Decurio
of Pompeii, the walls of the tabtinum are
painted with architectural subjects. Among
these are spaces for two large paintings, which
have been either carried away, or had not yet
been fixed in their places when Pompeii was
overwhelmed. A full account of the principal
paintings and sculptures, together with a
critical discussion of the methods and mate
rials in use among the artists of the age, i3
given by Dr. Dyer. Of these, the noblest
mosaic Is beyond comparison that discovered
in the house of the Faun, not less than 18 feet
long by 9 broad, supposed to represent one of
the battles of Alexander and Darius, probably
that at the Issus. Few paintings of any age
can excel in fire and animation the celebrated
head of Achilles giving up Briseis, in the
house of the tragic poet. And statuettes like
those of the dancing Faun, the Silenus, and
those of sundry animal figures, are not sur
passed by the finest remains of classic art.
We lay down Dr. Dyer's work with regret at
not being able to afford Bpace for a more com
plete epitome of its multifarious points of
interest. Saturday Review.
