Life and Death in Pompeii: Millenium series Pt 18
Visit with me the ruins of Pompeii. Read, 1500 years after the fact, the fascinating, powerful amd moving letters written by a 17 year old scholar, named Pliny the Younger. His letters include an account of the last hours and death of his uncle, how he lived and what kind of man he was. He also writes a letter which is an eyewitness account of the 79 AD eruption of Mount Vesuvius. The eruption of ash and cinder buried and preserved the ancient city by forming a hemetic seal around it. After being covered for 1500 years, Pompeii and it's inhabitants can now share their story of how they lived and died for this eruption caught forever, that moment in time. There are lots of pictures and links. Please join me. Mary Ellen
