      abstract = {Destroyed by Vesuvius in 79 CE, the ruins of Pompeii offer  the best evidence we have of life in the Roman Empire. But  the eruptions are only part of the story. In The Fires of  Vesuvius, acclaimed historian Mary Beard makes sense of the  remains. She explores what kind of town it was -- more like  Calcutta or the Costa del Sol? -- and what it can tell us  about "ordinary" life there. --from publisher description},
