Discover how people lived nearly 2,000 years ago – the homes they built, the food they ate, and the busy streets, markets, baths, and theatres that brought their city to life. Then experience the dramatic events of 79 CE, when Mount Vesuvius erupted and buried Pompeii under the ash. Written in clear, simple language, this book helps young readers understand one of history’s most powerful true stories in a way that is engaging, accessible, and age-appropriate.
