Pompeii is a novel by Robert Harris, published by Random House in 2003. It blends historical fiction with the real-life eruption of Mount Vesuvius on 24 August 79 AD, which overwhelmed the town of Pompeii and its vicinity. The novel is notable for its references to various aspects of volcanology and use of the Roman calendar.[citation needed] In 2007, a film adaptation was planned, to be directed by Roman Polanski with a budget of US$150 million, but was cancelled due to the threat of a looming actors' strike.
