Pompeii

The trademark of this series are the fictional eyewitness accounts through which the young reader learns first-hand how momentous events of history touch ordinary men and women. Maps, cross-sections, authentic drawings, cartoons, and even scale models of Rome and Acropolis animate the historical events.

Peter Connolly was a renowed British scholar of the ancient world, Greek, and Roman military equipment historian, reconstructional archaeologist, and illustrator. He was awarded an honorary research fellowship at the Institute of Archaeology of the University College London.
