Viggen Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 GUARDIANS OF A LEGACY Location: Italy Length: 10 min. Ancient Pompeii, a 150 acre walled city in southern Italy, was destroyed and covered by volcanic material when nearby Mt. Vesuvius erupted in AD 79. A complete city block, once inhabited by patricians, slaves and merchants, is now the focus of research and conservation by the Archaeological Sciences Department of the University of Bradford. This film describes how the recently created Pompeii Trust is attempting to preserve this important piece of history for future generations. via Archaeology Channel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
