Summary
| Description |
English: This image of Calliope - muse of eloquence and epic poetry - is one of several fresco Muses decorating the multiple triclinia (dining rooms with three dining couches) of the so-called ‘Villa Moregine’, a purpose-built inn that allowed for multiple parties to dine simultaneously. The inn was perhaps one of the ‘diversoriae tabernae’, built for Nero as rest and enjoyment places while he was traveling along the coasts of Latium and Campania in 64 CE, two years after a devastating earthquake.
Here, Calliope is holding both a wax tablet and a stylus, indicating her role of inspiring the writing of epic poetry (e.g. the Aeneid). Ville Moregine, western triclinium A. Neronian age (54—68 CE), on display at the Pompeii Archaeological Park |
