Pompeii as a source. The discovery of Pompeii is of huge importance for our modern-day understanding of the ancient Roman-Italic world-partly because the more public and monumental ruins left behind by Imperial Rome have often been misleading. The excavations at Pompeii and Herculaneum ... offer an intact vision of daily life in a Roman society in all its aspects. Their ruination and destruction left crucial questions unanswered, and made it impossible in many ways to gather a satisfactory understanding of the Roman world from them.
The ancient Roman city of Pompeii was destroyed in 79 AD/CE by eruption of the volcano, Mount Vesuvius. Lava and ashes destroyed the city and killed many of the residents that could not escape. A nearby smaller city was also destroyed. Pompeii was located near the modern city of Naples. Pompeii was a seaport and resort in Campania. Pompeii is of particular interest as excavations have uncovered intact many buildings, homes, wall paintings, mosaics, furniture and skeletons.
