HERCOLANEUM AND POMPEII

Hercolaneum was founded by Hercules according to mythological tradition . In 63A.D. the town was hit by a earthquake which attended all the Campania, and a few years later in 79 A.D. was devasted by the eruption of Vesuvios. When the eruption ended Hercolaneum was covered with a thick layer of mud (at some points over 10 meters deep). Abandoned by its inhabitants this town was never rebuilt.

The same happened to Pompeii, the reconstruction work that followed the earthquake was not yet completed when on August 24th, 79 AD Vesuvius unexpectedly awoke, submerging the countryside with ashes,, cinder and eruptive material, while rivers of lava mixed with mud followed down.

In 20 AD the Volcano was considered extinct by Strabone a geographer, therefore the population was taken by surprise and many of them were killed trying to escape. The eruption of the Volcano was so imense that the top part of the crater collapsed forming the present caldera.

This tragedy that lasted for three long days arrived to us through the letters of the writter Pliny the Younger to Tacitus.
Pompeii remained buried under a layer of ash with more than six meters deep preserving all the evidence of life by that moment, which came mericulously to light more than two centuries ago.
