This page contains a series of links to web-pages or references to additional resources that elaborate or illustrate points in the text, organized by chapter and page number. For an immensely complex site such as Pompeii, one of the trickiest things is to find out the source for a particular piece of evidence. While it is impossible to illustrate every point in a chapter, by keying as many points as possible in chapters to external resources, a much fuller and more richly drawn picture may emerge for the reader who wishes to explore, especially regarding lesser-known sites, structures, and works of art. It does not tend to link to topics that should be sufficiently covered within the volume. It is all on one “page” to assist searches, and permit convenient download (note the proper citation format below). Besides the addenda, corrigenda for the volume are also included here, and placeholders for desiderata are indicated by ‘xxxxxxxxx’. If the same source is cited more than once in the same chapter, a cross-reference is made; citations of the same source in different chapters are repeated.

This page simply links to documents, illustrations and publications already available – it makes no claim of copyright on any of that material unless specifically noted for items generated by the editors or individual chapter authors. Additionally, the compiler of this resource (P. Foss) does not vouch for the reliability and accuracy of information at each external location, as web-sites constantly change, though he has tried to choose the best, most scholarly resources available at the time. He attempts to avoid, if possible, sites whose authors are not specified, or use pseudonyms. He does not link to sites that sell antiquities. Finally, several references are given to A. E. Cooley and M. G. L. Cooley, Pompeii. A Sourcebook, London, 2004, a useful compilation of primary sources, using the short title Cooley Sourcebook, followed by the reference number used in that book.

This site is under development. The original version was released on 9 July 2008; it has been updated in part by Foss [PWF], but largely by the substantial efforts of Michael Binns [AMB], University of Durham Department of Archaeology.

A dagger, “ † ”, after a link shows that it is broken (as of 16 Jan 2013+), and no replacement site is yet known. Some well known sites have moved, which includes the former http://www.servius.org site (the work of William Storage and Laura Maish), now migrated to http://www.rome101.com/. The Perseus site at www.tufts.edu has been reorganised, but redirects quite smoothly. The Soprintendenza site for Pompeii has also been reorganised and moved, but it does not redirect; it is at present only available in Italian, and its contents are so far fairly thin: http://www.pompeiisites.org/. Where the older links can be updated to new URLs, this has been done without further comment usually, and the older links have been removed. All links not otherwise marked were found to be valid at the date when that chapter was checked. [AMB]

Publications using H. Eschebach’s map cite a slightly different numbering system for this property: VII Ins. Occ. 16-19. Meanwhile, Van der Poel’s Corpus Topographicum Pompeianum uses two systems: [19], [21-23] (see CTP vol. II, p.295n*8); and 19, A-C (1:1000 fold-out map in CTP vol. III). The inconsistencies are quite confusing; we sorry that our typographic error has not helped.
