Description: Abbeville Press, Inc. Publishers(Non-Fiction, Art & Culture) Great Treasures of Pompeii and Herculaneum Text by Theodore H. Feder Shop Villagelder's Books-N-Games From the dust jacketWhen Mt. Vesuvius erupted nineteen hundred years ago, the nearby cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum were wiped out. Yet, miraculously, the ashes that rained down on these cities also preserved them like flies in amber. Today, after nineteen centuries, archaeologists continue excavating these sites, unearthing houses, paintings, statues, bric-a-brac, and jewelry that provide an incredibly clear picture of daily life in a prosperous and old Roman community.In Pompeii and Herculaneum, the good life as the ancient Romans knew it, is recreated through meticulous photographs, superb four-color printing, and a clear, descriptive text by Professor Theodore Feder. The result is the most impressive book yet published on these archaeological treasures, which draw visitors from all over the world and which attracted vast numbers of people when a small portion were displayed in a recent exhibition in U.S. museums.
