= Foreign Influences on Pompeii =

Foreign influences on Pompeii refers to the impact of non-native societies on Ancient Pompeian culture. Historians’ interpretation of artefacts, preserved by the 79 AD eruption of Mount Vesuvius, identify that such foreign influences came largely from Greek and Hellenistic cultures of the Eastern Mediterranean, including Egypt. Greek influences were transmitted to Pompeii via the Greek colonies in southern Italy formed in the 7th-6th centuries BC, while Hellenistic influences originated from Rome’s trade, and later conquest of Egypt from the 2nd century BC.
