«What Was Pompeii?» is the children's history book by Jim O'Connor and Who HQ, in paperback, 112 pages, published by Penguin Young Readers Group, in English.
It tells how the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79 buried the Roman city of Pompeii and its inhabitants; the city remained almost forgotten for centuries. After its rediscovery in 1748, explorers found preserved buildings and mosaics, and archaeology has since revealed details of daily life in ancient Rome. It includes photographs of the ruins and an accessible tone for young history readers.
It belongs to the What Was? series (67 titles); this illustrated edition includes drawings by John Hinderliter.
For boys and girls aged 8 to 12 interested in the history of ancient Rome, archaeology and natural disasters.
