AD 79, and in Campania the earth rumbles and shakes. Superstitious terror grips the small towns around Vesuvius. Capra, a young slave, is wrongly accused of murder: if caught, she faces torture and crucifixion. She finds refuge with Abascantus, a travelling fortune teller and snake dealer, and together they use their wits to stay one step ahead of the authorities, the soldiers and the bounty hunters. In Pompeii, strange omens and portents are reported, but the priests are unable to appease the angry gods, and doomsday cults abound. "Keep watch," the prophets say, "for you know not the hour nor the day." But one man does know: the mysterious Abascantus, who correctly predicts the apocalypse - and disappears. Now on her own, Capra must flee the fury of the eruption, evade brutal gangs of scavengers and looters, and tunnel deep among corpses and ruins, struggling to survive in the volcanic wasteland that Pompeii has become. The Prophet of Pompeii is the thrilling second volume of the Flavian Trilogy, which charts the rise and fall of a dynasty, from the death of Nero through the eruption of Vesuvius and the destruction of Pompeii, to the mysterious assassination that ends it all. Praise for Corbulo's Daughter "Fantastic: a work of fiction that seamlessly combines period detail and wonderful characterisation." Tom Holland, author of Rubicon and Dominion "I love this book in so many ways. The writing is sublime, the characters superbly drawn, the narrative utterly propulsive. The story has such a strong air of authenticity about it." Mark Mills, author of award-winning The Whaleboat House and n° 1 bestseller The Savage Garden.

It's August, AD 81. Presumed dead by their families but wanted by unknown authorities, Flavia and her friends feel very far from home. When news of more kidnappings reach them, and they discover that one of Miriam's twins is among the missing, the four detectives set out for Halicarnassus to help. Here they find the countryside is full of prophets who heal the sick and cure the lame - or are they merely tricksters and villains in disguise?

Combining fictional characterisation and factual research Alan Lloyd asks who were these people who lived in Pompeii and what were their lives like in those last days before the disaster? Alan Lloyd, an acclaimed historian and novelist, breathes life into the ghosts that haunt the empty streets, quiet courtyards and silent rooms of Pompeii while stirring the imagination of everyone who has seen the well-preserved ruins of the ancient city. Through the eyes of Taras, Lloyd's imaginatively reconstructed narrator, we discover the real Pompeii, its geography, history and culture with a compelling urgency as the city's last day approaches. Alan Lloyd's brand of popular history concentrates on the details and colour that make for engrossing reading, the skilful depiction of a seminal moment in history and, above all, a readable narrative. Pompeii's Secrets is an engrossing adventure novel, as well as a fascinating historical survey.

The eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79, which obliterated the Roman towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum, was a disaster that resounds to this day. Now, paleontologist Charles Pellegrino, author of the New York Times bestseller Her Name, Titanic, presents a wealth of new knowledge about the doomed towns –– the people, their last moments, and the aftermath. By employing the latest in ⥯rensic archaeology⟲esearchers have been able to piece together long–buried stories, including that of wealthy abolitionists (sometimes called Christians) who were supporting a slave girl named Justa against her former master; they have discovered evidence of a thriving ⬩ddle class,⟷hich lived in houses with iron supports, concrete walls, sliding glass doors, and sanitary facilities; they have learned that these Roman citizens, whose medical technology included antibiotics, had a life expectancy not achieved again until the mid–1950s. The lessons learned from modern scrutiny of that ancient eruption produce disturbing echoes in the present. For the strange physics of volcanic ⣯wnblast⟡nd ⢯llapse column⟷ere at play in the 9–11 World Trade Center disaster. Dr. Pellegrino, who worked at Ground Zero in the attack's aftermath, shares his unique knowledge of these forces, drawing a direct link from past to present, and providing readers with a poignant glimpse into the last moments of our ‭erican Vesuvius."

Although there are many works dealing with Pompeii and Herculaneum, none of them try to encompass the entire spectrum of material related to its reception in popular imagination. Pompeii’s Ashes surveys a broad variety of such works, ranging from travelogues between ca. 1740 and 2010 to 250 years of fiction, including stage works, music, and films. The first two chapters provide an in-depth analysis of the excavation history and an overview of the reflections of travelers. The six remaining chapters discuss several clearly-defined genres: historical novels with pagan tendencies, and those with Christians and Jews as protagonists, contemporary adventures, time traveling, mock manuscripts, and works dedicated to Vesuvius. “Pompeii’s Ashes” demonstrates how the eternal fascination with the oldest still-running archaeological projects in the world began, developed, and continue until now.
