In what time of the year did wealthy Romans like to visit Pompeii?
Today many people who live in large metropolitan areas such as Paris and New York leave the city m summer. They go to the mountains or to the seashores to escape the city noise and heat. Over 2.000 years ago, many rich Romans spent their summers in the city of Pompeii. Pompeii was a beautiful city. It was located on the ocean, on the Bay of Naples. In the year 79 A. D., a young Roman boy who later became a very famous Roman historian was visiting his uncle in Pompeii. The boy’s name was Pliny. One day Pliny was looking at the sky. He saw a frightening sight. It was a very large dark cloud, this black cloud rose high into the Sky. Rock and ash flew through the air. What Pliny saw was the eruption—the explosion—of the volcano. The city of Pompeii was at the foot of Mt. Vesuvius.
When the volcano first erupted, many people were able to flee the city and to escape death. In fact, 18,000 people escaped the terrible disaster. Unfortunately, there was not enough time for everyone to escape. More than 2,000 people died. These unlucky people were buried alive, under the volcanic ash. The eruption lasted for about 3 days. When the eruption was over, Pompeii was buried and forgotten for 1,900 years.
In the year 1748, an Italian farmer was digging on his farm. As he was digging, he uncovered a part of a wall of the ancient city of Pompeii. Soon archaeologists began to excavate to dig in the area. As time went by, much of the ancient city of Pompeii was uncovered. Today tourists come from all over the world to see the ruins of the famous city.
