This book was published in 1979, the 1900th anniversary of the eruption of Vesuvius and the destruction of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Full of wonderful photos and history of this well preserved slice of ancient life and art. I recommend this for anyone interested in this historical event and the cultural time capsule that came about from the burial of these two cities.
