Few words about Pompeii
Pompeii was a middle-sized Roman town in the Italian region of Campania at the foot of Mount Vesuvius. Suddenly, after a long rest, the renowned volcano unleashed its destructive force by erupting tons of ash into the air for 18 hours, which fell onto this ill-starred town, burying its 20,000 citizens alive with their homes and public buildings. And the next morning, when the Vesuvius’ cone exploded, it caused an avalanche of ash travelling to flood Pompeii. The Roman town has been entombed for centuries and only in modern times it was discovered and brought to light. The artifacts buried for two thousand years have been preserved for centuries because of the shortage of oxygen and humidity. Frescos, everyday objects, statues, public and private monuments of this amazing place show us today an exceptional detailed cross-section of the Roman society during the I century a.d.
