About the book

Mary Beard's Pompeii reconstructs daily life in the Roman city destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. Using archaeological evidence, inscriptions, buildings and everyday objects, Beard examines homes, shops, politics, entertainment and social life. The book moves beyond the dramatic destruction of the city to reveal the ordinary people who lived there.
