Opis

A fully updated and revised overview of the site of Pompeii that includes major new research themes that have emerged in Pompeian archaeology in the last 20 years.

Recenzje

Cooley's is the first comprehensive overview of the history of the Pompeii excavations, and the discussion of the casual explorations of the site that seem to have occurred prior to the official beginning in the mid-18th century presents material that few of us have ever examined.
