The new DK Eyewitness Expert Guide to “Ancient Rome” has just been published in the US (the UK will have to wait until winter for a later release).

It is just the sort of pack that I’d have wanted as a child: books, models, maps, fact cards and a CD of clipart. I mention it on this blog because one of the books has a section on Herculaneum thanks to a contribution by the Herculaneum Conservation Project. I’ve added some sample page layouts below.
