| Here is our group during our visit to the city of Pompeii - We found it really fascinating!! |
-->
Ancient
city of Campania, Italy, 14 near miles south west of Naples near Mt.
Vesuvius, built on a spur formed by prehistoric lava flow to the
north of mouth of the Sarnus river.
Pompeii was destroyed, together
with Herculaneum and Stabie, by the violent eruption of Mt. Vesuvius
in AD 79; the circumstances of their preservation make their remains
a unique document of Greco- Roman life.
