Pompeii

This book is not about the Roman Pro-consul Gnaeus Pompeii Magnus nor is a precursor to the movie Pompeii but the ancient city of Pompeii and its unstable underbelly. The book traces the work life of a young aquarius (plumber) Attilius and his journey to save the Roman empire from poisonous water raging havoc in its cities. Peel by peel the story unwinds from the gentile Roman society life to the centre of the most violent volcanic eruption recorded in human history. In a nutshell the book is about water,earth, fire, and air...told the Roman way.
