In 79 AD, Mount Vesuvius erupted without warning, vaporizing the inhabitants of the nearby towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum, but perfectly preserving their architecture, art, and infrastructure. In this vividly illustrated talk, art historian Brenda Edgar will take a close look at the inhabitants of the Ancient Roman empire in their final moments and lead a tour through the excavated streets, elaborately painted homes, and lavish public buildings of this once bustling and wealthy town.
