POMPEII: AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL GUIDE

For all the fame and unique importance of the ruins at Pompeii, there is a surprising lack of a handy archaeological guide in English to reveal and explain its public spaces and private residences. This compact and user-friendly handbook, written by an expert in the field, helpfully fills that gap. Illustrated throughout with maps, plans, diagrams and other images, it offers a general introduction to the doomed city followed by an authoritative summary and survey of the buildings, artefacts and paintings themselves.
