Conversations: The Lost Voices of Pompeii, w/ Jess Venner

What can the ruins of Pompeii really tell us about the people who lived there—and whose stories have been forgotten for nearly two thousand years? In this episode of the History Shorts Conversation Series, host Peter Zablocki sits down with historian and classicist Jess Venner to discuss her new book, The Lost Voices of Pompeii. While Pompeii is one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world, Dr. Venner argues that the traditional story of the city has long overlooked the lives of its most ordinary residents.
