Gens Pompeia

Pompeii, a Greek colony from the 7th century BC, later dominated by the Etruscans and finally the Romans, owes its name to the Gens Pompeia. Destroyed and completely buried under many meters of ash and pumice during the catastrophic two-day eruption of Vesuvius on August 24, 79 AD, it remained hidden for nearly 1,700 years before its accidental rediscovery in 1748. Since then, excavations have uncovered a detailed snapshot of city life during the Roman Empire. Today, Pompeii is one of Italy's most popular tourist attractions and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Pompeian Red color is beautifully represented in the veined and mother-of-pearl resin bands that characterize the Gens Pompeia collection. The central band of the bronze barrel reproduces in bas-relief the famous fresco "The Bacchae" found in the Villa of the Mysteries in ancient Pompeii. Brass clip and separating rings. A cabochon ruby ​​is set at the top of the cap.
