Pompeii [EPUB ebook] 
A History of the City and the Eruption of Mount Vesuvius

Pompeii was one of most advanced cities of its time; it had a complex water system, gymnasium, and an amphitheater. Despite it’s advancements, there was one thing it wasn’t ready for: Mount Vesuvius—the volcano that led to its ultimate doom. 
The 79 AD eruption of Mount Vesuvius was one of the worst disasters in all of European history. In a near instant, over 15, 000 people were dead and a city was completely destroyed. 
This book looks at the rise, fall, and rediscovery of the great city of Pompeii.
