By concentrating on key members from each strata of Pompeiian society we are plunged into the everyday life of a city rebuilding itself, in the knowledge that it will all be for nothing when Vesuvius erupts.

"A very interesting approach to academic historical writing. Exquisitely drawn thematic chapters, packed with interesting detail, are strung together by fictional vignettes of life in Pompeii as imagined by the author and based on obviously extensive research. I have very much enjoyed this book, although I am left, as ever, bewildered and disgusted by the cruelty of Roman society."
"This is a good book, with a ton of information, but it is a bit dry. Great reference for anyone who wants a crash course on the ins and outs of daily Roman life."
