When workmen excavating the ruins of Pompeii eagerly gathered the native medicinal plants growing there, Wilhelmina Jashemski discovered that this was another example of the continuity of life in the shadow of Vesuvius. Many of the plants used for herbal medicine around Pompeii today are the same ones that ancient authorities such as Pliny the Elder and Dioscorides recommended for treating the same types of disorders. In this book, Jashemski presents an herbal of thirty-six medicinal plants, most of them known to the ancients and still employed today. She describes each plant's contemporary medicinal uses and compares them to ancient practices as recorded in literary sources. Scientific, English, and Italian names and the plant's mythological associations complete the entries, while elegant, full-page portraits depict each plant visually.

These memoirs, illustrated with over 400 photographs, will delight anyone interested in gardens or in the Roman world. They tell the human and the scientific story of how a woman from a small town in Nebraska learned more about the gardens of Pompeii than anyone thought possible. A master raconteur, professor of ancient history and teacher of a popular general humanities class at the University of Maryland, Wilhelmina Jashemski will fascinate both the Pompeian expert and the newcomer to the subject. She set out in 1955 with her husband, Stanley Jashemski, to explore the gardens of the Roman empire with the intent to write a scholarly book on the subject. At first she thought Pompeii would be only one chapter. As she got into the subject, however, she realized that many years were required to do justice to the gardens of the Vesuvian area alone. In 1961, the Italian authorities, impressed by the thoroughness of her study of existing materials, allowed her to re-excavate an open area. She surprised everyone by finding root cavities and revealing the planting pattern of an ancient vineyard. She was then able to excavate extensively in Pompeii and at the newly discovered grand villa of Oplontis nearby. Stanley Jashemski, a physicist by profession, became a skilled photographer, draftsman, and general travel and research manager. Using the best photographic equipment available at the time, he recorded both the results of their research and the life around them. In this volume, his pictures illustrate findings and events in Pompeii and Oplontis and also the stories of their travels through England, France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Poland, Greece, Egypt, Spain and Portugal. The intended chapter on Pompeii turned into two magnificent volumes, The Gardens of Pompeii, Herulaneum and the Villas Destroyed by Vesuvius, for which Wilhelmina received the gold medal of the American Institute of Archaeology. She involved numerous natural scientists in the study of material from her field work, and together they produced a third volume, The Natural History of Pompeii. Her letters to her sister's children became the basis of a much-loved children's book, Letters from Pompeii, which remains an excellent introduction to Pompeii for children of any age, 8 to 80. Her observations of the use of herbs for medicine by her workers led to the book A Pompeian Herbal. Stanley's magnificent photographs were complemented by Wilhelmina's knowledge of ancient writings on herbs in Wildflowers Amid the Ruins. Now again Stanley's pictures combine with Wilhelmina's words in this posthumous publication of her memoirs of a remarkable life. All photographs in this edition are in full color. A black-and-white edition is available at a lower cost. The text and pictures are otherwise the same in both editions.

The Getty Museum building recreates an ancient Roman villa on the shores of the Pacific Ocean, where guests can feel that they are visiting the Villa dei Papiri before it was buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. The climate of southern California has made it possible to plant the gardens with dozens of herbs, flowers, and fruit trees known to the Greeks and Romans. In classical times they were practical as well as beautiful, providing color, perfume, home medicines, and flavorings for food and drink. Martha Breen Bredemeyer, a San Francisco Bay area artist, was inspired to paint two dozen of the garden's herbs. Her watercolor gouaches combine vibrant color with the fragile delicacy of these short-lived plants while her pen-and-ink drawings share their wiry grace. Jeanne D'Andrea discusses twenty-one of the herbs in detail after presenting their place in myth, medicine, and home in the introduction.

Herbs and Healers from the Ancient Mediterranean through the Medieval West brings together eleven papers by leading scholars in ancient and medieval medicine and pharmacy. Fittingly, the volume honors Professor John M. Riddle, one of today's most respected medieval historians, whose career has been devoted to decoding the complexities of early medicine and pharmacy. "Herbs" in the title generally connotes drugs in ancient and medieval times; the essays here discuss interesting aspects of the challenges scholars face as they translate and interpret texts in several older languages. Some of the healers in the volume are named, such as Philotas of Amphissa, Gariopontus, and Constantine the African; many are anonymous and known only from their treatises on drugs and/or medicine. The volume's scope demonstrates the breadth of current research being undertaken in the field, examining both practical medical arts and medical theory from the ancient world into early modern times. It also includes a paper about a cutting-edge Internet-based system for ongoing academic collaboration. The essays in this volume reveal insightful research approaches and highlight new discoveries that will be of interest to the international academic community of classicists, medievalists, and early-modernists because of the scarcity of publications objectively evaluating long-lived traditions that have their origin in the world of the ancient Mediterranean.

A visceral history of Pompeii - the living city brought back to life. This startling new book concentrates on the twenty years between 59 and 79AD, thus beginning with the earthquake which all but destroyed Pompeii and ending with the volcanic eruption which has become part of our collective popular imagination. Alex Butterworth and Ray Laurence have synthesised the latest research into Pompeii to bring this period of flux and instability back to life. By concentrating on key members from each strata of Pompeiian society we are plunged into the everyday life of a city rebuilding itself, in the knowledge that it will all be for nothing when Vesuvius erupts. So we follow Suedius Clemens who has been sent by Vespasian to settle disputes over land; Decimus Satrius Lucretius Valens who is set to join Pompeii's elite magistrates following the death of his protector; the Vettii brothers who were fabulously rich and ostentacious dealers in wine and perfume; Pherusa, the runaway slave; lusty young Rustus who is contemplating parricide...
