Its luxurious nature in Roman days is sketched, alternating with the story of its accidental rediscovery in the late 18th century and subsequent excavation and scientific study, which continue even today on this exceptionally rich, complete site. Unfortunately the first dig in Herculaneum, ordered by the Napolitanean king Carlo III, was a terrible example of ruthless treasure hunting for collecting purposes only, without any real sense of history, and causing even more irreparable damage then the volcano itself. A few years later it was Pompeii's turn, where Swiss engineer Karl Weber started some proper documenting, against the backward Spanish royal 'archeologist' in charge; a Saxon real archaeologist had to sneak around as the court refused him access. A villa near Herculaneum which escaped the royal robbery contained a unique papyri scrolls library. Written by KGF Vissers See less
