A riveting, in-depth account, Jan 14 2004
This review is from: Vesuvius, A.D. 79: The Destruction of Pompeii and Herculaneum (Hardcover)
Full-color photographs and illustrations bring to life the scholarly yet vivid text comprising Vesuvius A.D. 79: The Destruction Of Pompeii And Herculaneum. by Ernesto De Carolis (Director of the Restoration Laboratories at the Archaeological Superintendency of Pompeii) and Giovanni Patricelli (vulcanologist and Vesuvius seismological topography expert) successfully collaborate to bring the reader a riveting, in-depth account of a terrible volcanic eruption that brought cataclysm to the people of ancient Pompeii and Herculaneum. Exploring in detail the events leading up to, during, and after the terrible eruption, Vesuvius A.D. 79 is a compelling and very highly recommended "window" into a unique and revealing event in the study of Roman history.
