About this book
Pompeii is seen here through the work of August Mau, who spent twenty-five years studying its ruins, summers on the site and winters in Rome. Francis W. Kelsey of the University of Michigan translated the book for English readers; it first appeared in 1899, and this revised edition of 1902 adds new material. The book has many illustrations from original drawings and photographs. The preface notes that no great Pompeian is recorded in history, so the ruins must be read as a picture of the town's common life; among the few residents known from inscriptions and portraits are Caecilius Jucundus and the priestess Eumachia.
