Descriptionof Herculaneum
Manufacturer

From luxury to destruction Vesuvius city of Herculaneum. Herculaneum was once a prosperous town on the coastal road between Neapolis and Pompeii. The city, with its Greek roots, was strategically located on the Gulf of Naples. After its conquest by the Samnites, it became a Roman municipium in 89 BC. Numerous aristocratic villas were built, including the famous Villa dei Papiri. In 79 AD, Vesuvius buried the city under pyroclastic material - organic finds such as wood and scrolls were preserved. Since 1709, excavations have provided sensational insights into the city's structure, infrastructure and the everyday life of its inhabitants. In this richly illustrated volume, Umberto Pappalardo shows how archaeology is deciphering the past of this unique Vesuvian city and bringing it to life.
