☆This book is relic of a bygone era, a testament to the resilience of history and archeology.
Nestled beneath the shadow of mighty Vesuvius, Pompeii was once a bustling metropolis, its grandeur rivaling that of Rome itself.
☆In 79 AD, Vesuvius erupted with a fury unmatched, burying Pompeii beneath a blanket of ash and pumice.
☆For it's age the book is in pretty decent condition. It has a deep green hardcover with an intricate gilded design. The cover front and back boards are detached from the spine. The pages show some foxing. There is a faint inscription dated 1871. I'm out of text space message me for more!
