The Great Earthquake at Sparta, BC 464 (litho)

Image description: The Great Earthquake at Sparta, BC 464. In this year Sparta was overwhelmed by a terrific earthquake, which is said to have destroyed practically all the houses in the city, and to have killed many thousands of the inhabitants. Great rocks from Mount Taygetus, displaced by the violent shocks, rolled down into the streets and largely increased the damage. Illustration for Hutchinson's History of the Nations (Hutchinson, c.1920). Note: Image has been digitally enhanced to facilitate repro.
