What´s New In History: Escaping Vesuvius — The Romans Who Lived
Description
Most people think everyone died when Vesuvius erupted in AD 79. Pompeii and Herculaneum froze in time — but the story didn’t stop there. In this What’s New in History, we talk to Garry Stevens about the fascinating new perspective on the AD 79 eruption: archaeologists aren’t just finding victims — they’re finding evidence of Romans who survived and rebuilt their lives elsewhere. From Pliny’s eyewitness account to the trail of empty shrines and missing household gods, we rethink one of ancient history’s most dramatic disasters — with a side order of garum.
