Anyone interested in Rome or in gardens or in the ancient history of Spain and Portugal should find much delight in this book. Of the hundreds, perhaps thousands of magnificent Roman villas that once dotted the Iberian country side, only about 60 have enough remaining to identify the presence of a garden. This book brings together the archaeological findings on these gardens. Most of them were also visited, and site descriptions and photographs are included in this book. It was inspired by Professor Wilhelmina F. Jashemski, whose infectious enthusiasm for Roman civilization and gardens in particular captured the hearts and minds of many who would otherwise have never have given the subject a moment's thought. In the last years of her life, she led a group of scholars in an effort to write a comprehensive book to be called The Gardens of the Roman Empire. Like her book, The Gardens of Pompeii, it was to have two volumes. The first would have synthesis chapters on subjects such as water or sculpture or plants in the gardens, while the second volume would be a catalog of all known Roman gardens. The material in this present book was originally prepared to be part of that second volume. It was read and approved by her in the format presented here. After her death it was decided to rearrange the material alphabetically for scholars. The format of the present volume, however, is better suited for explorers, whether they be exploring with their imagination of tramping the plains of Lusitania.

In Gardens of the Roman Empire, the pioneering archaeologist Wilhelmina F. Jashemski sets out to examine the role of ancient Roman gardens in daily life throughout the empire. This study, therefore, includes for the first time, archaeological, literary, and artistic evidence about ancient Roman gardens across the entire Roman Empire from Britain to Arabia. Through well-illustrated essays by leading scholars in the field, various types of gardens are examined, from how Romans actually created their gardens to the experience of gardens as revealed in literature and art. Demonstrating the central role and value of gardens in Roman civilization, Jashemski and a distinguished, international team of contributors have created a landmark reference work that will serve as the foundation for future scholarship on this topic. An accompanying digital catalogue will be made available at: www.gardensoftheromanempire.org.

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.

Romans loved their gardens, whether they were the grand gardens of imperial country estates or the small private spaces tucked behind city houses. They treasured gardens both as places for relaxation and as plots to grow ornamental plants as well as fruits and vegetables. The soothing sound of bubbling fountains often added further to the pleasures of life in the garden. Romans constructed gardens in every corner of their empire, from Britain to North Africa and from Portugal to Asia Minor. Long after their empire collapsed, the gardens they had so carefully planted continued to exert influence in the farflung corners of their former world. This book describes the variety of Roman gardens throughout the empire, from the humblest to the most lavish, including such well-known places as Hadrian’s Villa in Tivoli and the gardens of Pompeii and Herculaneum. The continued influence of Roman gardens is traced though Arabic, medieval, and Renaissance gardens to the present day. Many of the lavish illustrations were commissioned for this book.
