The Roman city of Pompeii was destroyed by a volcanic eruption in
79 A.D. It was first occupied in 6th century B.C, and the Romans
turned it into a place to vacation in 81 B.C., and it served that
purpose (among others) until it was buried, lost, and forgotten
under mud and ash. Two million people now live under Mount
Vesuvius, and it has erupted more than fifty times since 9 A.D.. It
continued to erupt every 100 years until about 1037 A.D., when it
went into hibernation for six hundred years. In 1631, Mount
Vesuvius erupted yet again, taking 4000 more lives. During the
restoration (after the 1631 eruption) workers discovered the ruins
of ancient Pompeii Everyone is curious about Pompeii, because the
city was a wonderful, glamorous and modern place that seemed to
just disappear (like the tale of Atlantis) from the face of the
earth. This is your chance to see a bit of exactly what has been
uncovered, as John D. Weigands photographs and the poetry of
Penelope Dyan help you explore this once great and ancient city in
the pages of yet another Bellissima book meant for kids that looks
great on your coffee table
