Cities of Vesuvius: POMPEII & HERCULANEUM

Mount Vesuvius erupted almost 2000 years ago. The inhabitants of nearby Pompeii & Herculaneum suffered horrific deaths, before being buried under tonnes of volcanic rock and mud. For centuries their story was forgotten. Gradually over the last 400 years, their secrets have been unearthed, giving us a remarkable insight into an ancient society.

This comprehensive and extended-length 73 minutes DVD, reveals details of their everyday lives, occupations, religion, politics, entertainment, influence of foreign cultures and the architecture of both public buildings and private homes. The DVD, combined with Paul Latham's extensive Teachers Notes, provides an invaluable resource.
