At a Glance
Overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy’s historic Amalfi Coast has served as a getaway for ancient Romans, as inspiration for creatives like John Steinbeck and as a one-of-a-kind residence by locals today. Over the course of six weeks, live like a local in this iconic region that is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. Experience apartment living in the beach-side town of Maiori — famous for its limoncello — while taking daily language classes to improve your Italian. Immerse yourself in Italian culture and history during field trips to archeological sites like Pompeii and Paestum and a boat excursion to Capri. While you experience living in a new country independently, you’ll be supported by a Road Scholar Group Leader who’s always on call to help.

Living and Learning on the Amalfi Coast: Independent Stay and Study
Program Number: 24821
Naples and the Amalfi Coast (The Silver Spoon)
Walking on the Amalfi Coast
Pompeii and Herculaneum: A Sourcebook (Routledge Sourcebooks for the Ancient World) 2nd Edition
The original edition of Pompeii: A Sourcebook was a crucial resource for students of the site. Now updated to include material from Herculaneum, the neighbouring town also buried in the eruption of Vesuvius, Pompeii and Herculaneum: A Sourcebook allows readers to form a richer and more diverse picture of urban life on the Bay of Naples.
Focusing upon inscriptions and ancient texts, it translates and sets into context a representative sample of the huge range of source material uncovered in these towns. From the labels on wine jars to scribbled insults, and from advertisements for gladiatorial contests to love poetry, the individual chapters explore the early history of Pompeii and Herculaneum, their destruction, leisure pursuits, politics, commerce, religion, the family and society. Information about Pompeii and Herculaneum from authors based in Rome is included, but the great majority of sources come from the cities themselves, written by their ordinary inhabitants – men and women, citizens and slaves.
Encorporating the latest research and finds from the two cities and enhanced with more photographs, maps, and plans, Pompeii and Herculaneum: A Sourcebook offers an invaluable resource for anyone studying or visiting the sites.
