Pompeiana
The Topography of Rome and its Vicinity
The antiquary Sir William Gell (1777–1836) was most famous for his two books on the archaeological discoveries at Pompeii (also reissued in this series) but his interest in the topography of classical sites resulted in several other publications, including this two-volume work, first published in 1834.

Concerned 'that time will incalculably diminish the freshness of those objects ... stripped of their external coats b…
