520 1 $a"Pompeii is the best known and probably the most important archaeological site in the world. The drama of its destruction has been handed down to us by Roman writers, its paintings and mosaics have astonished visitors since their discovery in the eighteenth century, and its houses and public buildings present a vivid picture of life and death in a Roman town." "With lavish illustrations, numerous box features ranging from theatrical entertainment to water supply, and comprehensive tables of information, The Complete Pompeii is the ultimate resource and inspirational guide to this magnificent ancient site."--BOOK JACKET.
