The account traces Pompeii from Oscan beginnings through Samnite conquest to Romanization under Sulla. It notes a harbor via the Sarno river, export of millstones, rising wealth as Romans settled nearby, and the 63 and 79 A.D. disasters with excavation progress since 1748 led by Lorelli and Rigoni, now slowing with about half the city uncovered.
