This page shows the additions and updates to pompeiiinpictures where new photographs of Pompeii and other new material have been added to the site. The locations with new pictures are listed month by month and in each month by regio, insula and house number and house name where there is one. Each new entry has a link to take you directly to the page for that villa, house, shop, tomb, baths, temple, gate, tower, altar, fountain or other location.
Where a large number of photographs have been added, the old photographs may have been rearranged or merged with the new so that rooms are placed together. On the larger houses the rooms have been numbered and a room plan added.
Some changes may only be to the descriptive text, improving its clarity or adding more information.
We have updated our pages for Regio V to include the new excavations in all the insulae.
We thank Prof. Osanna and the Parco Archeologico di Pompei for giving us permission to use their press release photos and material of the excavations of Regio V from which we have reconstructed our pages and placed the new discoveries in what we believe are their correct locations.

pompeiiinpictures is now mobile friendly.
All our pages (except the 3 maps pages at present where we have technical difficulties) will automatically resize to provide a better fit on mobile phones, tablets as well as the large computer screen.
The optimum phone screen width is 320px so iPhone 5 and above are useable.
The type and the photos will both resize for the text to be more readable and the photos to fit on the screen without parts going off the edges.
This does mean that tall (portrait) photos get to be bigger than wide (landscape) photos unless you turn your phone through 90 degrees making the wider photos bigger.
You can always turn your mobile screen sideways to get larger type also if your phone is set up for this.
The plans can downsize but if they have pressable/clickable links then these links cannot. Pressing or clicking on one of these plans either will not work or produces the wrong result unless you have a larger screen resolution (typically above 853px). The biggest is the streets plan (1340px) which has to be that big so that the street names can be read on the plan.
Under the plans are always a full set of individual links you can press instead.
Some plans we have been able to make smaller so they fit the smallest screen size (320px) and still remain pressable or clickable but not all can be made to do this because of the amount of detail on them.
Most photos have now been made larger and this is ongoing, with regions V, VI and the Tombs still to do.
We have also added around 1500 old 18th and 19th century drawings and watercolours that show features and paintings now lost or faded.
These are now located back in their original houses and rooms.
We have redesigned the menu system on all pages.
The menus are now only at the top of the page and occupy less space.
The Pompeii button will give you a link to each regio and all the pages related to Pompeii
The Other button will give you access to all the villas in the areas surrounding Pompeii such as Boscoreale, Boscotrecase, Stabiae, Oplontis, Scafati etc
The Find button will give you access to the search page, the index of names used on pompeiiinpictures, the explanation of Roman naming, and the glossary of terms.
The Help button will get you to the Help page, to an explanation of Pompeii house numbering and our Contact Us page.
Clicking on a button will bring down the menu, which will stay down until either you click on an item in that menu or click on another menu or click back on the top of the menu to close it.
The new menus are more mobile and tablet friendly.
They no longer take up a chunk of the left side of the screen or wrap round at the top of the screen, leaving those areas free to show more of the photos and text.
On plan pages the links are to the left and narrative to the right
Very occasionally only you may want to turn your phone 90 degrees to get a better fit.
On the plans pages the original plan is still large but the links below it are arranged to fit on a mobile screen without needing to be enlarged, reduced vor wrap round.
The back, up, down and home button group is no more sadly, as the feature is no longer available in the software we use.
Don't forget that you can use the browser back button to get back to the previous page or plan without using the menus.
Our old menu software has been discontinued and as a result the old menus no longer worked properly on mobile and tablet devices.
In some browsers the old menu may come up the first time you use some pages and this can be cleared by refreshing the page using the browser refresh or reload page button that usually looks like a three-quarter circle with an arrow on one end.
Our thanks to Buzz Ferebee for the many photos he took on his May trip this year.
This has greatly improved our coverage in areas such as the
VII.7.5 House of Tryptolemus,
VII.7.10 House of Romulus and Remus,
VII.15.2 Casa del Marinaio
VIII.2.1 Casa di Championnet I
VIII.2.3 Casa di Championnet II
VIII.2.14 Courtyard of the Moray Eels
VIII.1 and the other houses of VIII.2 and many more areas.
All these new pages have the larger photos.
We have added new pages for Casts, Skeletons, the Pompeii city walls and for Vesuvius and all are available from the new menus.
Plaster casts and Skeletons
Casts Calchi
Skeletons Scheletri
The casts will include the bodies, doors, shutters, animals, trees and plants etc.

The NEW page has now been discontinued to allow us to focus more time on other aspects.
What's new will be highlighted here in future.
We have also increased the size of the photographs on many pages and this will happen progressively month by month for every page.
I.1, I.2, I.3, VII.7, VII.15, VIII.1, VIII.2, Arches, Towers and some villas photo sizes have been increased this month.
Jackie and Bob are pleased to announce the first update to HerculaneuminPictures, the companion site to our PompeiiinPictures offering.
We have been overwhelmed with the reception that HerculaneuminPictures has been given by all of you and are pleased you have found it useful.
Thanks to everyone who has sent us photos.
We would particularly like to thank Nicolas Monteix for his many photographs and help that have considerably widened our coverage of Herculaneum.
We would also like to thank Sera Baker for her many pictures that have also helped us expand coverage, particularly her underground photos of the Theatre, where access is impossible to come by these days.
Our thanks to the Skulpturensammlung, Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, for allowing us to use their photos of the Herculaneum Women taken by Ingrid Geske. The Herculaneum Women were the first significant finds at ancient Herculaneum in 1711. They are among the best preserved of all the sculptures found there, virtually intact. They probably once decorated the Theatre stage's impressive double-tiered façade but were removed by Prince D'Elboeuf and presented as a gift to Prince Eugene of Savoy in Vienna soon after. You can see these on the Theatre page.
The Augusteum, the Basilica Noniana and the Theatre have had major makeovers as have many other pages. The theatre page now has a high resolution copy of the original 1739 Theatre plan by Alcubierre along with its full Spiega (Key or legend) in Italian which was published later.
We have added new categories for Baths and Streets.
The Augusteum, Basilica Noniana and the Casa dei rilievi dionisiaci now have links on the left of every page.
There is a link to PompeiiinPictures which you can access from the left hand menu on every page.
All this builds on our original photos and those of Michael Binns, Peter Woods and Buzz Ferebee that enabled us to build the site.
We would also like to thank Professor Andrew Wallace-Hadrill for allowing us to use material from his book Herculaneum Past and Future. (Wallace-Hadrill, A. 2011. Herculaneum, Past and Future. London, Frances Lincoln.)
So many houses in Herculaneum are closed and under restoration which means that our coverage is still limited in places.
We look forward to expanding the coverage wherever the Parco Archeologico Ercolano allows access and whenever you can send us photos that fill gaps, add artefacts or enable comparisons over time to be made.
Our Pompeii sites www.pompeiiinpictures.com and www.pompeiiinpictures.org continue to be available separately but the Herculaneum and Pompeii web sites are now linked so you can move between them, whenever you wish.
