What does this tell us about Pompeii as a society
This tells us that Pompeii was a vastly advanced society very capable of producing clothing as seen on the crouching man cast as well as harnesses such as the one used to chain the guard dog. Pompeii as a society was also very capable in medical practices displaying their knowledge through the use of medical instruments. The society of Pompeii was also heavily involved with the gods and forces that are considered beyond human intervention with adoration of such gods and myths present in the shield, statue and burial urn.
We can also make a direct link back to the Greek origins of the Roman city of Pompeii with the gods/goddesses and mythology depicted was very similar to that of the Greeks.
From the artefacts gathered, many of them were considered as luxury items of the time with other artefacts discovered also including leavened bread, candle holders and very prestigious looking houses and buildings. On closer inspection on some of the buildings we can see that there were many brothels in the city of Pompeii. From this evidence it is safe to say that Pompeii was no ordinary city, it was a city of leisure and practically a holiday destination with its situation also being so close to the water.
