Pompeji
Book • 2017
The ruins of Pompeii, buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 CE, provide the best evidence of daily life in the Roman Empire.
Mary Beard makes sense of these remains, challenging myths such as the eruption's exact date, the hygiene of the baths, the number of brothels (likely only one), and the death toll (possibly under 10% of the population).
This award-winning book offers an extraordinary portrait of the town's life, people, markets, and ongoing rediscovery.
