Dates That Made History
One Day in 79 – The Destruction of Pompeii27 min
Available until 31/12/2027
Patrick Boucheron revisits important dates of history. The revelation of Pompeii in 1748, destroyed in 79 CE, marks the beginning of archaeological history and the construction of a collective imagination of the ancient word. Are we wrong to view the conserved city as the ideal Roman settlement?
