Domesticating Empire: Egyptian Landscapes in Pompeian Gardens
Barrett, Caitlin Eilis (Associate Professor of Classics, Associate Professor of Classics, Cornell University)
Domesticating Empire is the first contextually-oriented monograph on Egyptian imagery in Roman households, investigating the functions of Egyptian landscapes within domestic gardens at Pompeii. So-called "Aegyptiaca" helped transform domestic space into a microcosm of the Roman world and enabled ancient Pompeians to present themselves as cosmopolitan, sophisticated citizens of empire.
