2003 novel by Robert Harris (7)

I believe the answer is:

pompeii

(Other definitions for pompeii that I've seen before include "Roman city south-east of Naples" , "Lava-buried Roman city" , "Ancient site" , "Ancient city in Italy" , "City buried by volcanic eruption, AD 79" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
