Thanks Bob - Paestum impressed us more than Herculaneum, maybe because both Pompeii and Herculaneum are familiar through the many TV programs on them. Paestum however, is not as crowded, is remote - you must walk for a mile along a country lane to reach the site - unfamiliar, has one of the

Yes I think the diver is very interesting. I’ve never seen it before and at first it made me think of the bull leapers of Knossos, until i read the caption. I’d love to visit Paestum some time - Sir John Soane made some very interesting drawings there, which are now on show in his museum here

My favorite is John Coyle's "Diver." It certainly qualifies as "ancient," and the fresco itself is interesting and beautiful, while John does an excellent job of capturing the scene. Henk's "Flour Mill" is not that ancient, but he creates a very pleasing scene. Dan Matyola
