Abstract

"This book examines how Pompeian peristyle gardens were utilized to represent the socioeconomic status of Roman homeowners, introducing fresh perspectives on how these spaces were designed, used, and perceived. Pompeian Peristyle Gardens provides a novel understanding of how the domus was planned, utilized, and experienced through a critical examination of all Pompeian peristyles - not just by selecting a few well-known examples. This study critiques common scholarly assumptions of ancient domestic space, such as the top-down movement of ideas and the relationship between wealth and socio-political power, though these possibilities are not excluded. In addition, this book provides a welcome contribution to exploring the largely unexamined middle class, an integral part of ancient Roman society. Pompeian Peristyle Gardens is of interest to students and scholars in art history, classics, archaeology, social history, and other related fields"--

Abstract

French description: Maintes fois consulte a l'etat de manuscrit par les archeologues francais de passage a Athenes, ce livre issu d'une these de doctorat, soutenue par Evangelia Trouki a l'Universite de Strasbourg en 1993 sous la direction de Jean-Francois Bommelaer, meritait d'etre publie quasiment en l'etat dans la collection des Fouilles de Delphes. Parce qu'elle est fondee sur une autopsie des vestiges et une profonde connaissance du site de la part d'une chercheuse qui appartint d'abord au service archeologique de l'ephorie de Phocide avant de travailler plus de trente ans pour l'Ecole francaise d'Athenes, cette recherche fournit un precieux etat des lieux. Si les methodes utilisees ici pour les releves et dessins ne beneficiaient pas encore des technologies en vigueur dans les programmes d'aujourd'hui, ce travail n'en fournit pas moins une documentation de premiere main ainsi que de nombreuses propositions de chronologie qui rendaient indispensable qu'on le proposat sans plus tarder a l'attention de la communaute scientifique. English summary: This book is based on Evangelia Trouki's doctoral thesis, presented at the Universite de Strasbourg in 1993 under the supervision of Jean-Francois Bommelaer. Over the years, French archaeologists passing through Athens have consulted the thesis in manuscript form over and over again and it was essentially ready for publication in its original form as part of the Fouilles de Delphes collection. This research provides us with a valuable overview as it is based on an autopsy of the remains and a deep knowledge of the site by an academic who initially worked as part of the archaeology team on the Ephorate of Antiquities of Phocis before working with the French School at Athens for over thirty years. We are excited to present this work as, while the methods used here for the reports and drawings did not yet have the advantage of today's technologies, Evangelia Trouki's research provides us with first-hand documentation and a number of proposals relative to chronology that make it a must-read for the scientific community.
