Herculaneum
The town of Herculaneum is on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius, and was destroyed by the same eruption as Pompeii. It appears to be a wealthier town, and preservation conditions were different, giving a unique view of life in the Roman world. Guest: Dr Gillian Shepherd (Director, Trendall Centre, La Trobe University).
