{"product_id":"herculaneum-baltasar-rodrzguez-9798270714789","title":"Herculaneum: Easy Guide","description":"\u003cb\u003eIn southern Italy, in the Gulf of Naples, lie the most impressive archaeological sites of Roman Antiquity. \u003c\/b\u003eThey were preserved for nearly two millennia by tens of meters of solidified volcanic material, which the voracity of Mount Vesuvius ejected in one of its most terrible and devastating eruptions.\u003cbr\u003eThe cities and summer villas of Herculaneum, Pompeii, Oplontis, Boscoreale, and Stabiae, all on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, make up an Archaeological Park unique in the world, due to its excellent state of preservation, its vast area, and the valuable artifacts and construction materials found. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAmong these archaeological sites, \u003cb\u003eHerculaneum\u003c\/b\u003e stands out, being the closest to the city of Naples and Mount Vesuvius. Unlike Pompeii, the upper floors of numerous houses have been preserved in Herculaneum, as well as the wood of doors, windows, and all kinds of furniture. Hundreds of skeletons and a multitude of remains of animal and plant biological materials, all kinds of foods, and curious objects that were part of daily life in the first century AD have also been found. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnother characteristic of Herculaneum that differentiates it from Pompeii is its smaller surface area, which makes a visit more comfortable and accessible, as in just a few hours we can see all the most important monuments and sites of the ancient Roman city.\u003cbr\u003eHerculaneum is on par with Pompeii. Furthermore, from here we can begin the climb to the impressive Mount Vesuvius. A volcano that, although apparently inactive, is still constantly monitored. From its summit, we can enjoy the most impressive views of the Gulf of Naples and the Sorrento coast. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith this comprehensive, up-to-date, and easy-to-use guide, you have everything you need to enjoy this beautiful place, all its monuments and treasures, and its nearby natural surroundings, with recommendations and tips for a rewarding experience.\u003cbr\u003eHerculaneum awaits you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Baltasar Rodríguez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798270714789\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/20\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.18d","brand":"Baltasar Rodríguez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48014286553343,"sku":"9798270714789","price":13.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5bc83482-6bfe-473c-96b7-28dc96b6d723.jpg?v=1767747841","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/herculaneum-baltasar-rodrzguez-9798270714789","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
