Okay Wendy now I believe you!<br>
<br>
I just found a website called Fictional Rome which seems to have a huge amount of authors that possibly nobody's ever heard of. Probably not surprising as some go back a hundred years or more.<br>
<br>
www.stockton.edu/~roman/fiction/<br>
<br>
So far, I've only had a quick glance but came across an interesting sounding book in the New Reviews section.<br>
It's called A.D.62 Pompeii by Rebecca West and there is a very comprehensive review of the work.<br>
A bit of the blurb:<br>
This novel involves time travel and thus might be classed as fantasy or science fiction but the time travel is only a means to move a 21st century Harvard ABD in classics back to shortly before the first earthquake at Pompeii."<br>
<br>
"She has done solid research and used good sources for Roman Daily Life and Pompeiian topography and architecture."<br>
