The importance of Pompeii and Herculaneum
Pompeii and Herculaneum have not only been well preserved but it is a normal Roman town. There were many convenient stores everywhere. It offers a wider view of the Roman society. The Roman empire was mainly composed of small towns like Pompeii and Herculaneum and this is why they offer us better insight into the Ancient Roman Empire. Other ruins artefacts etc. show us a grand and not a true representation of a Roman culture.
