What time period is Pompeii from?

Asked by Wiki User

First of all remember that Pompeii was not a civilization in itself. It was just a town in the area of Italy called Campania. This area was conquered by many different peoples. The two most important, before Rome, were the Etruscans and the Samnites. The town, village or collection of huts that eventually evolved into the town of Pompeii was influenced by these cultures. The Samnites seemed to have the most lasting impact, due to their language. They spoke the Oscan language and even in the days of the Romans, Oscan was still spoken and archaeologists have found inscriptions in the old Oscan language in the ruins of Pompeii. There is no firm date for these culture or civilization changes, except perhaps for the Roman takeover, which was after the conclusion of the Samnite War.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Archaeologists did not find anything after Pliny the Younger. Pliny the Younger only described the eruption of Mount Vesuvius when it happened in 79. Pompeii was first discovered in 1599 during works to divert a local river, but the uncovered areas were covered again. Pompeii was rediscovered again in 1748 and the first archaeological excavations started in 1764.

Why was the dog mosaic used for decorations?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Romans used many subjects and animals for mosaics. They covered whole villas with mosaics on the floors and the paintings in the Vatican are mosaics too. I have been in a villa in Sicily that every floor was covered in mosaics and to see them ramps were put up over them. All sorts of animals and people were pictured. They had lions, tigers, and even girls in swim suits.
