has a lot of high-res photos, mostly from the buildings, but also some nice frescoes. They seem to have a policy of granting permission to anyone who asks.--Eloquence

Swastikas
But I think that linked swastikas were a frequent motive in (at least) Greek vases. -- Error 04:23, 6 Aug 2003 (UTC)
- I'm not very familiar with Greek symbolism, but take a look at this extract:
- The highlighted parts are clearly in a non-swastika form. The non-highlighted parts can be interpreted as such, but given that the "swastikas" are not specifically emphasized nor consistently repeating, I am not ready to accept this as an intentional symbolism without a cite.

- I only found that the inhabitants of Pompeii used swastikas (or sauwastikas, I never remember which is which) as decoration. But that is no news.
