POMPEII MONUMENT OF THE DAY
This small house stands opposite the well-known House of Menander in Vicolo Meridionale, which can be reached directly from Via Stabiana by taking the side street almost opposite the Temple of Jupiter Meilichios. The name was given to the house by the archaeologists who chose it from one of the nine election slogans painted on the front wall. The rooms are decorated with original third style paintings: in the winter triclinium, to the right of the four-columned atrium with its fountain in the impluvium, we see a young Bacchus offering wine to a tiger; in the next room, adjacent to the garden, there are paintings of busts of satyrs and maenads.

RECIPE OF THE DAY OF THE ANCIENT POMPEII
(Apic. 7, 13, 1) Ingredients:
- 200g fresh or dried dates
- 50g coarsely ground nuts or stone-pine kernels
- a little bit of salt
- honey, or red wine with honey (to stew)
- ground pepper
Instructions:
-------------
Take the stones out of the dates and fill them with nuts or stone-pine
kernels and ground pepper. Sprinkle a bit of salt on the filled dates and stew them in
honey or honey-sweetened red wine. The dates have to be cooked in on
low heat until their paring starts to come off (approximately 5-10
minutes).
FORBIDDEN POMPEII: IMAGES AND NEWS
Love was a common topic of conversation in Pompeii. Feelings, passions, poetic love, sex, homosexuality, prostitution and so forth were all part of daily life and not a source of prejudice. The concept of “obscenity” seems to have been unknown. Love and sex were considered earthly practices of a man’s life that were encouraged by the benevolence of Venus. The thousands of examples of graffiti found on the town’s walls are unequivocal proof of what the people of Pompeii thought about love and sex.
