Two thousand years ago a city was buried in volcanic ash preserving its art, architecture, craftsmanship, and inhabitants. In the title The Secrets of Pompeii: Everyday Life in Ancient Rome we get an excellent experience of this city that was frozen in time. The horrific end of this city gave us great insight into the daily experience of the ancient Roman from where we stand over two millennium later .
