POMPEI
Founded in 600 B.C., a once-thriving commercial port of 20,000, Pompeii grew 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, this was a shake-and-bake windfall, teaching them volumes about daily Roman life. Today Pompeii as well Herculaneum offer the best look anywhere at what life in Rome must have been like around 2,000 years ago. This citiy of well-preserved ruins is yours to explore.Not rich, not poor, it was middle class—a perfect example of typical Roman life.
