Image & Context (ICON)  is the first international series that focuses on the image and the imagery in the ancient world. The most distinctive quality of the image is its unique suggestive potential. An image can both catch the viewer's attention in a fraction of a second and stamp itself forever on his mind. At the core of the series are the questions of how and by whom images were shaped and perceived, and how images functioned within and contributed to a specific cultural context. The series aims to stimulate new discussion about the visual cultures of the ancient world and new approaches towards a history of the image.

Massimo Osanna lässt Pompeji buchstäblich "wiedererstehen". Das alltägliche Leben, das über die Jahrhunderte unter einer dicken Decke aus Asche und Bimsstein bewahrt wurde, wird lebendig in den hier erstmals publizierten Neufunden der letzten Jahre. Eingebettet in das große Bild der antiken Stadt bis zum Ausbruch des Vesuvs 79 n. Chr.
