While reading Pompeii I referred back to many other books on the subject and found Beard has made them redundant. What previous books state as fact, she shows such evidence can be questionable, she shows us what is theory and guesswork and while this may seem faint praise it is anything but. Her questioning approach is refreshingly different involving the reader not just in the fascinating subject of Pompeii but the greater question of what can be gleaned from the historical evidence we have.
