Pompeii was a small but popular trading center and site for luxury Roman villas. When Vesuvius erupted violently in A.D. 79, thousands of Pompeians were caught unawares. Ash, hot gases, and rocks trapped and preserved this ancient city and its inhabitants. Today, excavations at Pompeii reveal the daily life of a bustling city at the height of the Roman Empire.

In only rare instances, such as the Pantheon, the Markets of Trajan and the Colosseum, or the impressive façade of the Temple of Zeus inserted into
a later building, is it possible to see the monuments that once adorned ancient Rome still standing to their full height.
The remains of many other ancient cities on the other hand, are found at a distance from nearby modern settlements and are not encroached by buildings. These ancient cities are actually more potent in revealing and
displaying the ancient urban context in an un-fragmented state. Yet the fact that these are often not well preserved and that large portions remain unexcavated hinder that potential, and to an untrained eye, the ancient city often looks like a spread of ruins. While monuments like theaters or baths
are in general well preserved and might partially stand to their full height, the ‘ancient city’ is often conceived as a walking track with a collection of building stones. In several cases the remains of buildings whose walls are rarely preserved to their full height do not give a sense of how they once
looked like. Finding a still standing ancient building, let alone an ancient city, and wandering inside, therefore, is not a common experience. ]]> http://pdfcast.org/pdf/a-tale-of-two-cities-in-search-for-ancient-pompeii-and-herculaneum Tue, 01 Sep 2009 19:48:32 -0400 http://pdfcast.org/pdf/a-tale-of-two-cities-in-search-for-ancient-pompeii-and-herculaneum History life must have been like almost 2,000 years ago. Perhaps it is the combination of a devastating natural disaster with the mystery of ancient times that brings more than 2 million tourists to Pompeii every year.
