Insula of the Menander at Pompeii: Volume IV: The Silver Treasure - Painter, Kenneth S. (Research Associate of the Institute of Archaeology, Research Associate of the Institute of Archaeology, University of Oxford)

This is the first study in nearly seventy years of one of the largest known hoards of Roman silver plate, found in the House of the Menander, one of the finest houses in the centre of Pompeii, buried in AD 79. It is the only surviving complete Roman dinner service for eight people, belonging to a rich citizen of Pompeii who was probably a local magistrate.
