Episode Synopsis

Long before it was a city frozen in time, Pompeii was a thriving Roman town full of wine, frescoes, street food, gladiators, and gossip scratched into walls. In this episode, we explore Pompeii’s bustling daily life, the fateful day in 79 CE when Vesuvius buried it under ash, and its eerie rediscovery centuries later. From Pliny the Younger’s eyewitness account to plaster casts that capture people in their final moments, Pompeii remains one of the most haunting windows into the ancient world.New Episodes: Mon/Wed/Fri (If people enjoy, and feedback via reviews and ratings is good, will release daily)Request an episode: [email protected] History Of is your daily dose of weird, wonderful, and occasionally ridiculous history.
