POMPEII AND HERCULANEUM: the glory and the grief - this book recreates in vivid and accurate detail the colourful, bustling life of a first century Graeco-Roman city, the tremendous drama of the earthquake in 62 AD and the final tragedy of the eruption in 79 AD. It also records the work of the excavations, now in progress for over two hundred years and still far from complete.
