POMPEII MONUMENT OF THE DAY
Thanks to its large size and particular typology, this house can be defined ‘Villa’. It extends over an area corresponding to two insulae, of which one-third is occupied by the building proper and two-third were used as a vegetable garden. After the earthquake of 62 A.D., the owner of this sumptuous and elegant house, Julia Felix, daughter of Spurius, decided to ease the difficulties caused by the shortage of accommodation by renting out part of the house.

RECIPE OF THE DAY OF THE ANCIENT POMPEII
(Apic. 7, 13, 1) Ingredients:
- 200g fresh or dried dates
- 50g coarsely ground nuts or stone-pine kernels
- a little bit of salt
- honey, or red wine with honey (to stew)
- ground pepper
Instructions:
-------------
Take the stones out of the dates and fill them with nuts or stone-pine
kernels and ground pepper. Sprinkle a bit of salt on the filled dates and stew them in
honey or honey-sweetened red wine. The dates have to be cooked in on
low heat until their paring starts to come off (approximately 5-10
minutes).

The concept of “obscenity” seems to have been unknown. Love and sex were considered earthly practices of a man’s life that were encouraged by the benevolence of Venus. The thousands of examples of graffiti found on the town’s walls are unequivocal proof of what the people of Pompeii thought about love and sex.
