Ancient Pompeii in the Year 79 A.D.
Mario Macaluso
The audience will enjoy this lecture on Ancient Pompeii, and will learn the history of the city and the story of the fatal eruption of Mt. Vesuvius through pictures, and literary documents such as the eyewitness account by Pliny the Younger.
Mario will first talk about the daily life of the inhabitants of Pompeii before and during the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius on August 24, 79 A.D.
After a practical comparison of Pompeian mores, life-style, religious beliefs, and artistic creativity with ours today, Members will view Mario’s slide show to take the audience on a virtual tour of the ruins of the ancient city to admire the Forum, the Greek Theatre, the Baths, the Fountains, House of the Vettii Brothers and what is left of the ancient town.
