Mt. Vesuvius eruption, 1944

 Pompeii may be the city most commonly linked to the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 C.E., but the cataclysmic events of that year affected nearby towns just as violently: Herculaneum, Oplontis, Terzigno and others. Pompeii served as the cosmopolitan center for the seaside resorts on the Bay of Naples. Because of its northern location, residents of Herculaneum experienced the eruption much differently than did the inhabitants of Terzigno, Oplontis, and Pompeii further to the south. Map of area affected by eruption

Introduction Pompeii, Italy represents an important archaeological and geological site. Once a prosperous and vivacious town located in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius, an active strato volcano, the region and its inhabitants were ultimately decimated and buried in a sea of volcanic ash and debris following a great, unforeseen eruption in the year 79 C.E. Mt. Vesuvius Ruins of the ancient Forum in Pompeii
