Should Ancient Library Be Excavated?

Forbes has This Story on Villa of the Papyri at Herculaneum in Southern Italy that has a library that could contain works from Sophocles, Euripides, Aristotle, Virgil, Horace and Livy.


A full excavation might cost several million pounds, but this, the classicists argue, would be a small price to recover unknown writings by these intellectual giants.
