What Was Normal Life Like In Pompeii Before Its Destruction?

Pompeii, probably the world's most famous archaeological site, was buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79 and gradually unearthed beginning in the middle of the 18th century. But, before the eruption, what was life like for the Romans who lived there? As Mary Beard reveals in her A to Z of the ancient town, it's not all that different from our own, complete with yob culture, nightlife and plonk.

Gleaning evidence from an extraordinary find, Cambridge professor and Pompeii expert Mary Beard provides new insight into the lives of the people who lived in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius before its cataclysmic eruption.
