The marble-clad surfaces of the numerous bars or shops (so-called thermopolia) of Pompeii and Herculaneum are a vast and hitherto untapped source of information about marble use beyond the confines of public building and élite houses. Four field seasons of survey work have documented 49 bars at Pompeii and eight at Herculaneum with over 8,000 pieces of stone, mainly marble. This paper discusses the results of this project: first, the types of stone used on these bars and how they were displayed; second, what their quantities and distribution, within these cities and on individual bars, reveal about the pervasiveness of the wider pan-Mediterranean marble trade; third, what we can say about where these materials came from and how they were acquired, and what this in turn reveals about the economics of reuse of architectural materials in the Vesuvian cities.I rivestimenti marmorei delle superfici di numerosi bar e negozi (cosiddetti thermopolia) di Pompei e Ercolano sono una vasta e finora inesplorata fonte di informazioni sull'uso dei marmi aldilà dei confini di un edificio pubblico e dalle case elitarie. Quattro stagioni di ricognizioni su queste città hanno permesso di documentare 49 bars a Pompeii e otto a Ercolano con oltre 8.000 pezzi di pietre, principalmente marmi. L'articolo discute i risultati di questo progetto: innanzitutto i tipi di pietra usati nei bars e il modo in cui venivano disposte; in secondo luogo, la quantità e distribuzione, all'interno di queste città e nei singoli bar, che rivelano la pervasività del più ampio panorama mediterraneo del commercio dei marmi; in terzo luogo, cosa si può dire sulla provenienza di questi materiali e come venivano acquistati e quindi cosa questo significhi circa le economie dei riusi dei materiali architettonici nelle città vesuviane.

This article discusses the findings of a racial justice climate survey using a mixed-methods design conducted to learn more about the areas of strength and areas of improvement related to racial justice in one faith-based School of Social Work. The framework for organizing the findings focuses on the three pillars of social work education: the explicit curriculum, the implicit curriculum, and field education. While the overall findings indicate that student experiences in our BSW and MSW programs related to racial justice are primarily positive, some of the data indicate otherwise. Findings suggest that the efforts being made in the explicit curriculum should continue and expand, while several recommendations for improvements should focus on the implicit curriculum. These findings will help our social work programs move towards more racially just pedagogy, policies, and practices, which could serve as a model for other programs within the College and for social work programs in other colleges and universities.
