Pompeii perished. On that day Vesuvius erupted an enormous quantity of lapilli, lava and poisonous gas, which destroyed the city forever, together with its neighbours: Herculaneum, Stabiae and Oplontis. <br>The eruption suddenly covered the whole city – houses and monuments, streets, civil and religious buildings, - and its people with lava and ash, suddlenly stopping life but also conserving everything as it was. This unique situation makes it possibile today to study how daily life used to be in Pompeii. The authors explain in this book not only how the city of Pompeii looked like in Antiquity, but they also reconstruct all different aspects of life of pompeian people – private life, social habits, economic rules, politics, religious beliefs – through the observation of archaeological finds, material culture, architectural traces and art. The structure they chose for the book is not the traditional topographical one, but a trasversal, thematic one. <br>The iconography of the archeological site is completed by plans of the main monuments and the paintings, mosaics and scultpures of the Archaeological Museum of Naples. </p><p><strong>Eva Canterella </strong><em>is Professor of Institutions of Roman Law at the University of Milan. </em></p><p><em>Among her most recent publications: </em>I supplizi capitali: origini e funzioni della pena di morte in Grecia e a Roma <em>(1996), </em>Secondo natura: la bisessualità nel mondo antico <em>(1997), </em>Passato prossimo.
