the speeches and sayings of Marcus and a useful note on his attitude to Christians, in which Haines
challenges the popular view that Marcus was hostile to them. Later Platonism is best illustrated by the
Moralia of Plutarch, especially in Vol. v (London, 1936), translated by F. C. Babbit, which contains Isis
and Osiris and The E at Delphi. Neoplatonism is represented by the Enneads of Plotinus (1966), not yet
all available, with translation and useful synopses of the complex argument by A. H. Armstrong. A good
impression of the mind of Plotinus is available from Ennead 1. 6 On Beauty and 2. 9 Against the
Gnostics.
- The Arts Of Living (By Roger Ling)
For the ancient authors who give us information on this subject (Cicero in his letters, Petronius, Statius,
Ovid, Martial, Juvenal, the Younger Pliny) see the translations etc. cited in the bibliographies of
Chapters 19, 24, 27 and 28.
Pompeii and Herculaneum. The best book is T. Kraus and L. von Matt, Pompeii and Herculaneum: the
Living Cities of the Dead (New York, 1975). Also valuable, though difficult to obtain, are the various
editions of the exhibition catalogue Pompeii 79 (London, 1976; Boston, 1978) edited by J. B. Ward-
Perkins and A. Clandge. Brief popular surveys are M. Grant, Cities of Vesuvius: Pompeii and
Herculaneum (London, 1971); A. De Franciscis, The Buried Cities: Pompeii and Herculaneum (London,
1978); R. Seaford, Pompeii (London, 1978); andj. J. Deiss, Herculaneum: A City Returns to the Sun
(London, 1968). Still an important synopsis, though excluding the twentieth-century discoveries, is A.
Mau, Pompeii, its Life and Art (transl. F. W. Kelsey, 2nd edn., New York, 1902).
Ostia. R. Meiggs, Roman Ostia, 2nd edn. (Oxford, 1973) includes much relevant material on housing.
See further A. Boethius, The Golden House of Nero (Ann Arbor, 1955).
Many of the aspects covered in the present chapter are dealt with in the stimulating, but somewhat too
gloomy, survey of J. Carcopino, Daily Life in Ancient Rome (New Haven, 1940). On domestic
architecture the only general book is A. G. McKay, Houses, Villas and Palaces in the Roman World
(London, 1975), which is confused and frequently at fault; much better are the relevant sections in J. B.
Ward-Perkins, Roman Imperial Architecture (Harmondsworth, 1981). On gardens the fundamental work
is now W. F. Jashemski, The Gardens of Pompeii, Herculaneum and the Villas Destroyed by Vesuvius
(New York, 1979).
Decorative and luxury arts. See the general works cited in the bibliography of Chapter 32, especially M.
Henig (ed.), A Handbook of Roman Art (Oxford, 1983). On specific themes the following are all useful
studies: R. J. Charleston, Roman Pottery (London, 1955); R. A. Higgins, Greek and Roman Jewellery
(London, 1966); G. M. A. Richter, The Furniture of the Greeks, Etruscans and Romans (London, 1966);
D. E. Strong, Greek and Roman Gold and Silver Plate (London, 1966). The techniques of artists and
craftsmen are examined in D. Strong and D. Brown (eds.), Roman Crafts (London, 1976).
