Pompeii Robert Harris

[Epictetus]

I'm continually playing catch-up with books I want to read, but I finally finished Harris' Pompeii. I suppose one might think that the theme of the story - the eruption - would be the best part of such a book, but what fascinated me the most was the water supply. It was extremely interesting to read about the system, and how it worked, and how it was maintained. If you haven't had a chance to read this one yet, I recommend it.
