Well considered & pictorially illustrated view of several key villas from the Vesuvius region from Roman times. Danielle used recent photographs of ruins & underwater images to discuss life of the wealthy elite of the Roman Empire. Brought a great deal of understanding of how people - elite & the masses lived. Really enjoyed this presentation. Thanks Danielle!
