DESCRIPTION:A story of triumph out of tragedy\, uncovered in the ashes of V
 esuvius.\n\nJoin the The Capitol Archaeological Institute\, The Department
  of Classical and Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations\, and The Washi
 ngton DC Society of The Archaeological Institute of America for a receptio
 n\, book sale and the annual de Bragança lecture with Miami University's 
 Professor Steven L. Tuck as he discusses his bestselling work\, Escape fro
 m Pompeii\, with the GW community.\n\nThe archaeological park of Pompeii i
 s one of the most famous sites of destruction anywhere in the world. From 
 the time of the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 CE until the eighteenth century
 \, Pompeii and its neighbor Herculaneum lay preserved under a thick layer 
 of volcanic material. Since excavations began three hundred years ago\, Po
 mpeii has been revealing the secrets of its victims and the ordinary shape
  of their lives prior to the catastrophe. But did anyone survive the disas
 ter?\n\nBy asking new questions about Pompeii and innovatively examining t
 he evidence\, Escape from Pompeii proves the survival of Pompeians and Her
 culaneans after the eruption. It sheds new insight into their lives\, pre-
  and post-eruption\, and provides new conclusions about the Roman world an
 d its response to unimaginable suffering.\n\nRegistration required.\n\nReg
