Journey Through Ancient Pompeii

On the morning of August 24 in the year 79, time came to an abrupt halt for the people of Pompeii. This outstanding program—filmed under the guidance of Umberto Pappalardo, director of the excavations at Pompeii and Herculaneum—uses Pompeii’s abundant archaeological evidence to re-create daily life at the time Mt. Vesuvius erupted. A historical overview of the town, combined with background on Pompeii’s urban, political, and cultural organization, completes the portrait of a thriving Roman community in the first century. (31 minutes)
