Title: Pompeii Author: Mary Beard Narrator: Phyllida Nash Format: mp3 Length: 12 hrs and 35 mins Release date: 11-11-21 Ratings: 5 out of 5 stars, 4 ratings Genres: Archaeology Publisher's Summary: The ruins of Pompeii, buried by an explosion of Vesuvius in 79 CE, offer the best evidence we have of everyday life in the Roman empire. This remarkable book rises to the challenge of making sense of those remains, as well as exploding many myths: the very date of the eruption, probably a few months later than usually thought, or the hygiene of the baths that must have been hotbeds of germs, or the legendary number of brothels, most likely only one, or the massive death count, maybe less than 10 per cent of the population.
