Phil's Reviews > The Complete Pompeii

I came to this book as a Latin teacher, who has used the Cambridge Latin Course, whose first book is set in Pompeii, for over fifteen years. So, I've had a learn a little about Pompeii over the years. So, it is in that light that you should consider what I'm about to say. This book lives up to its title. It is a very up-to-date and comprehensive look at Pompeii and its history which was a truly joy to read. Only the most recent (i.e. this year's) excavations are missing from this volume and the scholarship is very strong. This is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in Pompeii.
