Cover of Judith Harris: Pompeii Awakened (ePUB)

The rediscovery of the Roman cities overwhelmed by the rage of Vesuvius is one of history’s most extraordinary adventure stories. Pompeii Awakened revels in that adventure, and tells of the re-emergence of a long-vanished cosmopolis which profoundly inspired a later age – from its arts and architecture to its science, sex and religion.
