Homework – Document Analysis due Monday
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.
Map of area affected by eruption
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.
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.
