With fascinating text and splendid yet haunting illustrations, this narrative imagines what it was like when Vesuvius erupted more than 2,000 years ago. The famous lost city of Pompeii comes to life again in dozens of photographs, paintings, and diagrams. Vivid descriptions of life before and during the disaster and educational sidebars reveal the lives of those who lived and died in this ancient Roman city. Also included is information about the archaeological digs at the volcanic site and how they have contributed to the rediscovery of ancient Roman life.
