moreWe all know about Pompeii and Herculaneum, to the south and west of Vesuvius respectively, but its north slope is by contrast almost a blank in the archaeological record, something which the Apolline Project set out to rectify. The reports and linked historical essays in this volume examine the evidence for settlement on the north slope, and seek to integrate this work into wider debates in Pompeiian studies. They also provide useful perspectives on the region in Late Antiquity.
