Profusely illustrated with over 300 newly taken color photographs, as well as maps, architectural plans, graphs, and archive illustrations showing the early stages of the excavations. "This significant addition to the few available books focusing on Herculaneum is the first major study of the spectacular archaeological findings there since Joseph Jay Deiss' book, published in 1966 and last revised in 1993. It is based on the latest excavation work and incorporates much new material that has revolutionized our understanding of the site. Illustrated with 300 recent color photographs, it is the definitive overview for the general public of what we know and understand about Herculaneum, of what is still unknown and mysterious, and of the potential for future discoveries in both archaeological and political contexts." "One could hardly ask for a clearer, more comprehensive, and better illustrated guide to Herculaneum." - Publishers Weekly.
