Omschrijving

The Buried Cities of Campania, or Pompeii and Herculaneum, is a historical and archaeological book written by William Henry Davenport Adams in 1868. The book is a detailed account of the history, destruction, and remains of the ancient cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, which were buried under volcanic ash and pumice during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Adams provides a comprehensive overview of the cities' origins, their growth and development, and their cultural and social significance in ancient Roman society. He also describes the events leading up to the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, the catastrophic impact it had on the cities and their inhabitants, and the subsequent rediscovery of the cities in the 18th century. The book includes detailed descriptions and illustrations of the archaeological finds, such as buildings, artwork, and everyday objects, that have been unearthed from the ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Adams also discusses the challenges and controversies surrounding the excavation and preservation of the sites, as well as the ongoing efforts to uncover new discoveries and insights into the lives of the people who once inhabited these ancient cities. Overall, The Buried Cities of Campania is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in ancient history, archaeology, or the enduring legacy of Pompeii and Herculaneum.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
