Sydney feels like it’s jumped straight from winter to summer these last few days, but really it’s Spring in the air.
This fresco fragment is often identified as the goddess Flora and was found in the Villa of Ariadne in Stabiae. Now held in the MAN Napoli.

✨Women and Literacy✨
While the extent written evidence from women in ancient Rome is small, it is suggestive of a culture of education particularly among elite families.
This Pompeian fresco depicts Terentius Neo and his (name unknown) wife. She holds a stylus and writing tablet while he holds a scroll. The literacy of both is openly suggested in this double portrait.

What’s caught Minerva’s eye? We’re not sure, but she does seem worried… Maybe it’s something Hercules said. This fresco comes from the College of the Augustales, Herculaneum.
