Based on Edward George Bulwer-Lytton's 1834 novel of the same name, the film is set during the final days leading up to the Mount Vesuvius eruption in Pompeii in 79 AD. == Plot == In Pompeii 79AD, Glaucus and Jone are in love with each other. Arbace, Egyptian High Priest is determined to conquer her. Glaucus buys the blind slave Nidia who is mishandled by her owner. Nidia falls in love with him and asks Arbace for his help. He gives her a potion to make Glaucus fall in love with him. In fact it is a poison which will destroy his mind. Arbace's disciple Apoecides threatens to reveal publicly his wrongdoings. Arbace kills him and accuses Glaucus of the crime. He locks Nidia in a cellar to prevent her from speaking. Glaucus is condemned to be thrown to the lions. Nidia manages to escape and tells Glaucus' friend Claudius what happened. Claudius rushes to the Circus to accuse Arbace and the crowd decides that Arbace and not Glaucus should be thrown to the lions. The Vesuvius starts erupting and a widespread panic ensues. Under the shock, Glaucus recovers his mind. Blind Nidia, the only one to find her way in the darkness caused by the rain of ashes, leads Glaucus and Jone to safety and finds peace by drowning herself.〔Review, synopsis and link to watch the film: (【引用サイトリンク】title=A cinema history )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Last Days of Pompeii (1913 film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
