Description: The Villa of the Mysteries is on the outskirts of Pompeii, and it would be like any other Roman villa if it weren’t for a special set of paintings. One room is lavishly decorated on all walls with a fresco depicting what appears to be an initiation ceremony into a mystery cult. Guest: Dr Gillian Shepherd (Director, Trendall Centre, La Trobe University).
