In a matter of hours the thriving city was entombed under a thick layer of ash and debris, undiscovered for 1600 years. This tale recreates the events leading up to the explosion and shows how the ash kept the city and its inhabitants - the only significant discovery of Roman bodies ever - in a unique state of preservation. Wander through the ancient streets of this sophisticated society and witness current excavations. Written by Enzedder See less
