A landmark work in classical archaeology, Cities of Vesuvius: Pompeii & Herculaneum chronicles the dramatic fate of two Roman cities buried beneath the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Michael Grant, one of the most celebrated historians of the ancient world, presents a vivid and authoritative account of daily life, art, architecture, and society as preserved in extraordinary detail beneath layers of volcanic ash and rock. Drawing on decades of excavation and scholarship, the narrative uncovers the streets, homes, temples, and human stories frozen in time, offering an unparalleled window into the Roman world. Written with clarity and intellectual depth, it argues that Pompeii and Herculaneum are not merely archaeological curiosities but essential keys to understanding the vitality and complexity of Roman civilisation.
