Founded in 600 B.C., from Greek and Etruscan roots to become an important Roman city. Then on August 24, A.D. 79, everything changed. Vesuvius erupted and began to bury the city under 30 feet of hot volcanic ash. For the archaeologists who excavated it centuries later, the ruins taught them volumes about daily Roman life. Today Pompeii offers the best look anywhere at what life in Rome must have been like around 2,000 years ago. This city of well-preserved ruins is yours to explore. Not rich, not poor, it was middle class—a perfect example of typical Roman life. -
