Pompei
holds an intense fascination for visitors today. Following the
eruption of the volcano Mount Vesuvius in the year 79 AD, Pompei lay
buried and forgotten for hundreds of years and the excavations begun
in the 18th Century are still being carried out today. You can see
the past prosperity of the town in the Roman villas, bathhouses and
temples which have been unearthed. Even an amphitheatre has been
found. |
