Pompeii & Herculaneum: Reconstructing the Final Day
Presented by James Renshaw
In this presentation, James combines archaeology, volcanology, literary evidence and art, to examine what happened to these two towns when destroyed on the same day in AD 79 by the eruption of Mt Vesuvius. He enables his audience to examine the evidence of Pliny the Younger, who provided history’s first eye-witness account of a volcanic eruption, along with evidence subsequently uncovered in the cities themselves.
