Summary
Pompeii is the best known and probably the most important archaeological site in the world. The drama of Pompeii's end has been handed down by Roman writers, its paintings and mosaics have astonished visitors since their discovery, and its houses and public buildings still present a vivid picture of life, disaster and death in a Roman town. This book, now available in paperback, is the most up-to-date, authoritative and comprehensive account for the general reader of its rise, splendour and fall. Published in paperback to coincide with the major exhibition showing at the British Museum from 28 March to 29 September 2013, Life and Death: Pompeii and HerculaneumArchaeologyAncient RomansHistory
