Pompeii book blog

My book was left at school so I cannot copy the passage down word for word, but I remember what it basically said. It was describing the wealthy of the town and how important power was in the city of Pompeii and how normal life was just two days before the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.

This passage really helps the define the setting more than anything else. It shows what the city was like and how the wealthy of the city were living compared to the poor that were enslaved by the wealthy. It speaks on the city life of Pompeii and nothing of the grumbling Mount Vesuvius which is set to erupt. So far I have enjoyed this book and I think its good historical fiction because I'm learning about history while enjoying a good story as well.
