Abstract "This second edition of Alison E. Cooley's accessible introduction to Pompeii takes into account the major new theories and discoveries that have emerged since the first edition was published 20 years ago. Focusing special attention on the date of the eruption, the natural environment of Pompeii, the recovery of skeletal remains and plaster casts, and Pompeii in the popular imagination, it explores the impact of scientific and archaeological innovations, as well as contemporary politics, upon interpretations of Pompeii over the last 250 years"-- Provided by publisher.
