Sodom and Gomorrah in Pompeii
Keywords:

Abstract
This paper studies the context of an inscription found in Pompeii, which refers to the Biblical cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. If the graffito was written before or during the volcanic eruption, it is possible that its Author, probably a Jew, had connected the earthquake of 62 or the catastrophe of 79 A.D. with the Divine wrath that, according the Biblical tradition, had destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.Downloads
