Professor of Roman Studies) will lecture on "Herculaneum: Living with
Catastrophe" in the

Herculaneum, which shared the fate of Pompeii in the
eruption of Vesuvius, has been the object of a major conservation campaign
sponsored by Packard Humanities Institute and directed by Dr. Wallace-Hadrill

evidence for major geological activity dating back a century before the
eruption, and to a long drawn-out catastrophe with which the inhabitants lived.
