A
walk through the streets of Pompeii, into villas and shops, baths and gardens,
temples, basilicas, the stadium, and the marketplace, demonstrates and explains
the history of Pompeii and its relationship to Rome; the customs, lifestyle,
living standards, and moral and religious values of Pompeians; and the cataclysm
that buried the city and suffocated its entire population. Re-creations
of buildings and other sites help to clarify an extremely vivid and informative
program. |
