POMPEII MONUMENT OF THE DAY
Leaving the Forum now and heading along Via del Foro to the corner of Via della Fortuna, we find the Temple of Fortuna Augusta built at the expense of Marcus Tullius, a relative of the famous orator Cicero. This benefactor, an eminent citizen of Pompeii and twice Duumvir in the Augustan age, even went so far as to create the position of minister of the cult. The temple consequently acquired a political connotation, which was spread through the diffusion of the imperial cult.

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).

Love was a common topic of conversation in Pompeii. Feelings, passions, poetic love, sex, homosexuality, prostitution and so forth were all part of daily life and not a source of prejudice. 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.
