Exploring the Archaeological Site of Pompeii | with forensic expert Dr Estelle Lazer

The eruption of Mt Vesuvius in AD79 has provided us with an unrivalled ‘time capsule’ of life at the height of the Roman Empire, but it was also a human tragedy. Excavations at Pompeii, Herculaneum and other sites revealed not only precious mosaics, paintings, and buildings, but also the skeletal remains of hundreds of the victims of the eruption. Join forensic archaeologist Dr Estelle Lazer, who has spent her life investigating Pompeii’s victims, and local licensed Neapolitan tour guide Dr Raffaele Romano on this walking tour through the site of Pompeii, including the amphitheatre, the ‘Garden of the Fugitives’ and other locations where significant human remains were found.
