Cities of Vesuvius: Pompeii and Herculaneum

4.1/5 ( ratings)

"At a tavern in the Via di Nola, gladiators abandoned their...drinks and fled for their lives..."

Here is a picture of life in a Roman provincial town, from the graffiti on the walls to the fruit in the market stalls, from the arts to the trade, from the temples to the brothels...all frozen in death for 1,900 years.
