About this book
"Drawing together the most recent archaeological and historical research, Pompeii offers a vivid, and unprecedented, portrait of the city during the eventful twenty-five years leading up to the eruption that destroyed it. Focusing on key individuals from each stratum of Pompeian society, a compelling narrative emerges of the city's best and worst times, placing the reader right on the streets and in the houses, amongst the sights, smells and sounds of the living city."--BOOK JACKET.
