Jess Venner on The Lost Voices of Pompeii: Hearing the Forgotten People of 79 AD Peter Zablocki sits down with historian and classicist Jess Venner to explore her new book *The Lost Voices of Pompeii*. Instead of focusing only on the wealthy or the dramatic final moments, Venner uses graffiti, inscriptions, and everyday writings to let ordinary Pompeiians — slaves, gladiators, shopkeepers, women, and children — speak for themselves across 2,000 years. A moving, intimate portrait of life before the eruption. What’s the most surprising thing you’ve learned about Pompeii? Comment below! Follow the page for more author conversations & ancient history!
