This gorgeous photo was taken by University of Cincinnati Classics Professor Steven Ellis, who directs the University of Cincinnati's archaeological excavations at Pompeii (the 'Pompeii Archaeological Research Project: Porta Stabia'); and co-directs the 'Pompeii Quadriporticus Project' and the 'East Isthmia Archaeological Project' in Greece.
