Annual Ridgway Lecture: Oplontis: New Discoveries at Villas A and B with Prof. John Clarke, UT Austin
October 30 @ 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm
Sponsored by: AIA-Puget Sound Society, University of Washington
AIA Society: Puget Sound
Learn about recent archaeological excavations at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Oplontis in the Bay of Naples. Through the
two Roman villas found there, we encounter both unbridled luxury and the lives of working individuals.
John Clarke is a Professor of Art History at the University of Texas at Austin. He has authored more
than ten books on ancient Roman architecture, mosaics, frescoes, erotic art, humor, and non-elites,
and has co-directed the Oplontis Project since 2005.
