Pompeii
Pompeii was not only a flourishing port but a prosperous resort with many villas. An earthquake in AD 63 did much damage, and an eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79 buried Pompeii.
Under the cinders and ashes, Pompeii was preserved with magnificent completeness—down to the fresh colours of the wall paintings. The long-forgotten site of the city was rediscovered in 1748 and has been sporadically excavated since that time.
The habits and manners of life in Roman times have been revealed in great detail at Pompeii by the plan of the streets and footpaths.
Hundreds of bodies have been discovered since excavations of the city began. They tell us a great deal about the city and it's inhabitants last moments.
Although the flesh decayed the skeletons of the victims remained trapped within the preserving layer of volcanic debris. This sarcophagus of ash also maintained an imprint of each body as it was at the time of death.
