The Complete Pompeii by Joanna Berry
A richly illustrated overview of the buried Roman city, tracing its development, daily life, and sudden destruction in 79 CE. Drawing on archaeological discoveries and recent research, it reconstructs streets, homes, public buildings, art, religion, economy, and entertainment, while charting the site’s rediscovery, excavation history, and ongoing conservation challenges. The result is a vivid portrait of a complex urban society captured in extraordinary detail at the moment of its demise.
