Overview
On a beach near Naples in October 79 CE, more than 300 people stand on a beach, hoping for an evacuation that will never come. Vesuvius – a volcano which needs no introduction in the world of Ancient Rome – has erupted. And they have left it too late. They will all be killed instantly in the devastation that follows.This was the end of their town, but it is not the end of their story. Neighbouring the world-renowned Pompeii, the town of Herculaneum is the neglected victim of Vesuvius. It was uniquely preserved in the aftermath of the eruption, and in many ways gives us unparalleled glimpses into the past.Echoes of Ash tells the fascinating story of Herculaneum and the people who lived there for the first time. Through the eyes of the Weaver, the Slave Girl and the Pregnant Lady, the Soldier, the Fisherman and the Boxer, and by investigating the relevant buildings and the archaeological discoveries of the past twenty years, acclaimed historian Adrian Murdoch makes it possible to build a historical picture that is more colourful, complete and alive than has ever been possible before.• Essential reading for fans of Pompeii• Herculaneum receives 300,000 visitors every year and is one of Italys top ten tourist destinations, yet it has been overshadowed by Pompeii in popular history – until now• Based on the latest archaeological research and discoveries, Adrian Murdoch explores the ancient Roman town to bring the ancient world to life• Herculaneums unrivalled preservation gives us a unique glimpse into Roman life
