Roger Ling's recreation of Pompeii not only describes the day-to-day life of the city's inhabitants on the eve of the fatal volcanic eruption of AD 79, but he reconstructs the city's long earlier history, back to Etruscan times. He concludes with the rediscovery of Pompeii in the 16th century and its continuing excavation.
