Kneeling Atlas from the odeon ("The Little Theater") in Pompeii, Italy. This entertainment venue was built in the first century BC and destroyed in the first century AD. Pompeii--and its odeon--was enveloped in several meters of ash when Mt Vesuvius erupted in AD 79.
If seeing the well-preserved wonders of Pompeii are of interest to you, you should consider joining us as we return for a taste of Italy next year. See the link here for details.
