In Roman times, Pompeii was a rich and populated city, full of private and public buildings. One summer day in 79, the entire city and about 20,000 of its inhabitants were buried under tons of ash and pumice due to a violent explosion of Vesuvius. A rain of very fine ash was deposited everywhere at a depth of more than six meters, enveloping everything and adhering to the shapes of the bodies and their clothes. Nearly 2,000 years later, you have the opportunity to experience daily life in the imperial era and to imagine how people panicked before the city was so disastrously buried.
