On a quiet backstreet, all you need is a little imagination to sense the shadow palpably filling the dark corners, to hear the ancient pipe´s falsetto, to envision a rain of rose petals gently covering a Roman senator´s dinner guests.

POMPEII MONUMENT OF THE DAY
The discovery of the statue of Doriphorus, the symbol of youth and strength and a roman copy of the original of Polycletus, led early archaeologists to define this space with its surrounding colonnades beside the Large Theatre as a gymnasium (palestra). However, it was actually the headquarters of a military association of noble Pompeian youths who used to train here for parades and official competitions. The limited space available meant that certain kinds of training probably took place in the adjoining area of the Triangular Forum.

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).

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.
