Campania, the happy abode of gods and muses abandoned to the infernal powers. A land of culture, a land of mixed blood, at the source of Roman civilization. In 79 AD, the explosion of Vesuvius covered this luminous and tranquil natural setting with a shroud of ash. In Pompeii, where time stood still, the traveler believes he understands everything about the life of the Ancients. But does he think to guard against illusions? This guide invites him to "reread the daily life of these rediscovered cities."
