The exhibition “Bound for Disaster” shows the towns at the foot of Vesuvius in a completely new light, focussing on aspects such as the Roman Empire’s role as master of the Adriatic and the Mediterranean following its victory over Carthage. Expansion of the navy provided the foundation for the Roman life-style: a slave-based society, where consumer items, luxury goods and free labor flow in abundance across the Mediterranean, supplying major parts of the Roman Empire. Pompeii and Herculaneum benefit grea†ly from their positôn at the heart of this flourishing commerical activity. Five Italian museums and cultural institutions made an exclusive and varied selection of artifacts available for †he exhibition, and together the exhibi†s, scenography and narra†ive provide an intriguing insight into life and death in Pompeii and Herculaneum. A lushly illustrated, and beautifully designed catalog with extensive text. .
