LIFE AND DEATH IN POMPEII AND HERCULANEUM
Book ID/图书代码： 12749013B65369
English Summary/英文概要： A magnificent illustrated book offering a unique perspective on the everyday lives of the citizens of Pompeii and Herculaneum
This captivating book explores the lives of the ordinary people of Pompeii and Herculaneum – the two cities on the Bay of Naples that were buried by the catastrophic volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. The plaster-cast bodies of the victims are the most vivid shocking reminders of the horrific event that made Pompeii famous, but who were these men, women and children so cruelly frozen in time? By focusing on the domestic spaces of the typical Roman house of the first century AD and over 200 excavated objects – from the sensational to the everyday – the author brings the inhabitants of Pompeii and Herculaneum back to life from the ashes and ruins of their own homes. Here are bronze busts and magnificent mosaics from the entrance area; beautiful frescoes and silver drinking cups from the dining room; a carbonised wooden cradle and birth certificate of a little girl from the bedroom and library; bottles for fish sauce and cooking pots from the kitchen; the public face of real families and their private possessions.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这是一本宏伟的图鉴，对庞贝和赫库兰尼姆公民的日常生活提供了独特视角。
这本迷人的书探讨了庞贝和赫库兰尼姆古城普通人的生活——这两个坐落于那不勒斯海湾的古城，于公元79年因灾难性的维苏威火山爆发而被埋。受害者的石膏模型是最生动的震撼，提醒着这个可怕事件，这也让庞贝城出名，但这些被时间残酷冻结的男人，妇女和儿童又是谁？通过专注研究公元一世纪的典型罗马房子的内部空间和超过200个挖掘对象 ——从轰动事件到日常生活——笔者让庞贝和赫库兰尼姆的居民从自己家的灰烬和废墟里起死回生。插图有入口处的青铜半身像和宏伟的马赛克；美丽的壁画和饭厅的银饮水杯；来自卧室和书房的碳化木摇篮和小女孩的出生证明；厨房的一瓶鱼露和炊具；公众将会看见真正的家庭和他们的私人财产。(LNL)
