AN OTHER EXCITING LECTURE FROM YOUR TAMPA BAY AIA CHAPTER

🏛️ LUXURY FROM THE PROVINCES
Reading Morality on the Walls of a Roman Villa

Roman writers condemned luxury at home — so why did one of the grandest villas on the Bay of Naples get a plainer paint job? Dr. Andrew Crocker (Florida Southern College) reads the walls of Villa A at Oplontis, where cheap local pigments and old-fashioned style became a performance of virtue.

📅 Thurs, Oct 22
🎙️ 6:00 PM
📍 Ashley Gibson Barnett Museum of Art, Florida Southern College, Lakeland

Free & open to all — come see what the walls were really saying. 🎨

NOTE: this lecture is at a different location.
