Two wall paintings from Pompeii show Jason before Pelias: both probably preserve elements of the same Greek original. In the version from the Casa di Giasone a young man is shown wearing a saffron yellow Macedonian cloak with a purple border and a long-sleeved chiton with a double overfall. The cloak shows him to be a Macedonian Companion or a Companion cavalryman. The long-sleeved chiton was not worn as part of Macedonian military or court dress after the end of the fourth century BC. Therefore it is argued that the original was painted in the second half of that century, possibly during the last two decades.

This article focusing on the journeys of the first Czechoslovak president Tomas Garrigue Masaryk to Capri, the archaeological site of Pompeii, and to the Naples Museum represents a marginal but interesting addendum to the author's previously published monograph on Czech journeys to Pompeii, and their subsequent descriptions in the published as well as archive accounts written by the travellers themselves ('Cesi v Pompejich 1748-1948 (The Czechs in Pompeii 1748-1948), Praha 2007). Even though no records of the journeys describing his impressions written by Masaryk himself are extant, some interesting comments of Dr. Kucera, Masaryk's secretary, regarding the visits of 1921 and 1922 have been preserved. In addition, the author puts Masaryk's visits into the context of the overall political atmosphere after World War I and of the state of Pompeian archaeology at that time.
