1860s carte-de-visite by German photographer Mathias Wacker in Aschaffenburg, Germany. Photo of the Pompeiianum. Great addition to your cdv collection.Built in the 1840sin the Bavarian town of Aschaffenburg, thePompeiianum (called Pompejanum in German) is an idealized reconstruction of a Roman house based on excavations in Pompeii.It ispicturesquely located high on a terrace ridge overlooking the River Main.ThePompeiianum was builtbetween 1840 and 1850 by order of King Ludwig I of Bavaria who had been inspired by the excavations in Pompeii. It was loosely modelled on theHouse of the Diosuri(Casa dei Dioscuri) in Pompeii. The King chose to built the Villa in Aschaffenburg because of its mild,sunnyclimate and its attractive position. The Pompeiianum was never intended to be a royal residence. It was a place where art lovers could study antiquity and see how life was like in a Roman house.I can offer a discount on combined shipping if you buy more than one item from my store at the same time.
