Product description

The Cultural Loss of Pompeii and Herculaneum – Advanced History Resource (Grades 11–13)

This advanced history resource explores the cultural and historical loss caused by the destruction of Pompeii and Herculaneum in 79 AD. Designed for upper secondary learners, the material guides students through the significance of both cities as archaeological treasures, as windows into Roman daily life, and as lasting reminders of how we value and preserve cultural heritage.

This resource includes:

  • Academic background texts on the urban structure, function, and lifestyle in Pompeii and Herculaneum

  • Source-based activities analyzing excavated artifacts, wall paintings, and inscriptions

  • Comparative work between material evidence and literary sources (e.g., Pliny the Younger)

  • Debate and writing prompts on ethical questions: preservation vs. tourism

  • Interdisciplinary extension: cultural memory, disaster archaeology, and heritage education

  • Editable worksheets, teacher notes, and assessment rubrics for advanced learners

Perfect for high school history courses on Ancient Civilizations, Classical Studies, or Heritage Education, and also suitable for interdisciplinary work in Ethics, Art History, or Latin.

A powerful resource that combines source criticism, historical empathy, and cultural awareness—ideal for critical engagement with the ancient world in a modern context.
