Inside Pompeii: A First-Ever Complete Tour

Pompeii is the most vivid encounter with the ancient world available to any visitor — a city frozen at the moment of its destruction in 79 CE, its streets, houses, bakeries, brothels, and public buildings preserved in the ash that killed it with a completeness that no ruin anywhere else approaches. This extraordinary Thames & Hudson volume offers the first complete visual tour of the entire city — every district, every major building, every street — produced in collaboration with the Pompeii Archaeological Park and drawing on the latest excavations and conservation work.

More than a guidebook and more than a visual record, this is the definitive account of what Pompeii was: how it was built, how it functioned, how its people lived, and what its extraordinary preservation tells us about the Roman world.

An essential volume for anyone fascinated by ancient Rome and the most complete visual record of Pompeii ever published. Published by Thames & Hudson.
