One of Rome's many beautiful fountains. ROME:THE ETERNAL CITY Many of us who visited Rome will never forget it. It was the high point of the cruise. This book could not begin to describe the magnificence of the city's cathe- drals or the history of the ruins of the ancient capital of the Roman Empire. Sumce it to say, however, that we were deeply impressed by the quantity and quality of religious art and architecture, reminders that centuries of the growth of Christianity have centered in Rome.

POMUPIEU Pompeii merits special attention, as it represents one-of the world's finest examples of the ancient Greek and Roman cultures of almost twenty cen- turies ago. It is the only instance of an entire city of this era being preserved complete. Its remarkable state of preservation is due to the manner of its destruction. Founded originally by the Greeks, it became a popular resort for the fash- ionable of Rome, and the architecture of the city shows both influences. In the year 79 A.D., the city was completely destroyed by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius. It lay covered with about twenty feet of dry volcanic ash and pumice, almost forgotten for about 1700 years. About the year 1750 the excavation of the city was started and is still continuing. Almost three- quarters of the city is now uncovered and open to visitors. Those of us who toured Pompeii wandered down its stone paved streets, deeply rutted from the passage of many chariots, and spent hours visiting the many spots of interest.
