Pompeji by Alberto Angela
A richly researched, vividly narrated reconstruction of life in a bustling Roman town on the eve of catastrophe, drawing on archaeology, frescoes, inscriptions and artifacts to revive the daily rhythms of its streets, shops, baths, homes and public spaces; the book traces the social fabric—from slaves and shopkeepers to elites and entertainers—while explaining the science and sequence of the 79 AD eruption that buried the city, the human stories of loss and survival, and how modern excavations have gradually revealed Pompeii’s vanished world.
