      We had one in our school who was the RI teacher. She was near retirement, but when she told those Old Testament Bible stories she really made them come alive. We were on the edge of chairs and looking forward to the next class with her. 'Long dead now but not forgotten by me and many others perhaps. That was one wonderful school. I wept so much the day I walked out of that school gate for the last time.

    40 years ago, I read a yellowed volume, translated from Italian to Greek to English called A Day In The Life Of A Roman. It wasn't the later book of the same name which was pale in comparison but thick with a copperplate title page and tissue overlay. A great deal about the various translations, author, biography, credentials, footnotes in the back, reference material, however, beautifuly written, rich with detail, and long, interesting, descriptive passages You could smell the smells and at least 3 interesting chapters were nightime in Rome. What the varying people did from early evening on. It was 75 years old when I read it and it belonged to a chum's mother in England. I still rememember it vividly. Everything Mary has shown in past videos and much more in vivid detail.

    Having been to Pompeii, I much appreciated this documentary and the chance to view some of the more spectacular finds which were not on display at the site. The cellar she described had not been discovered at the time of my visit, and her examination of these remains was very revealing. One thing omitted was the making and selling of the city's most in-demand product, garum, a sauce made from fermented fish, that was exported throughout the Roman world. I much enjoyed her dialogue and insights into this dramatic event. Nature is neither kind or unkind, but such events can and will happen again in volcanic areas throughout the world. In the geologic record, there have been volcanic events that have been much larger in scale than the eruption at Pompeii with ash flows covering hundreds of square miles and impacting much larger areas with world-wide consequences.

The plane ride in particular kicked my butt, as my cold clogged ears just wouldn’t fully POP! Having narrow Eustachian tubes and sinuses didn’t help, to say the least. I was deaf and delirious for half the flight until one ear managed to slowly squeeze out most of the pressure, but the other never gave way fully until we landed. Sigh.

    Me encantó este bellísimo trabajo de investigación de la profesora Mary. A cada cierto tiempo es increíble la cantidad de cosas que se descubren y que nos ayudan a entender mejor esta sociedad romana de Miles de años atrás. Grande aprendizaje!!

    Mary Beard, as usual in her books and documentaries, makes alive all circumstances how the Romans were living in that ancient times. I always enjoy drive back in ancient time listening her again and again!

    Things change all of the time but the fundamentals remain. That is how come we can relate to, feel perhaps, what these people might have felt. They were human beings, just as we are, though we now have smart phones. Thanks for this story! 🙂

    Thank you very much for details, Pompeii has fascinated since1953 when Master Crotty told of the fate of Pompeii. I visited London in 1976 to see the Pompeii exhibition , visited Pompeii in 1981 after the earthquake, and was disappointing, but I was fascinated by the pedestrian crossing, the one way traffic and the lead pipes supplying hot water from Vasuvias. I had a morbid curiosity about a place that stopped living 2000 years which lived much like Los Vagus is living today.

    Such a wonderful lesson, not just in Pompeii, but in humanity and compassion which oftentimes seems to be missing from our ancient history...
