@Tammy, there was an excellent 3 part series on PBS. Pompeii-The New Dig. I found it fascinating. I would guess you could find it on PBS passport, Amazon Prime or the library.

I have posted this link many times, and here it is again - A series of lectures by a Yale professor on Roman Architecture. For some reason, the first session isn't on the Yale website, but you can find it on YouTube. Several lectures are devoted to Pompeii and the other "Vesuvius" sites.

Thanks for sharing article, ET! It's truly a fascinating place (been twice) and they keep discovering more and more about life in that ancient Roman seaport. Tammy, I look forward to a report from you when you finally get there!
