Sixty-five acres were buried under ash and thousands of people died so there was no economy after the eruption. The Romans did not rebuild on the site and this is one reason you can visit Pompeii today to see what life was like in 79 AD.

If you mean in Roman times, Mt. Vesuvius killed the people who remained in the surrounding towns. It impoverished some, as they lost their homes, properties and businesses, escaping with only what they could carry. Others, such as the looters, profited.

The eruption caused most of the people near the volcano to evacuate. Those who chose to stay, or couldn't evacuate in time, were coated with volcanic ash that preserved their bodies until scientists would discover them years later. The houses were destroyed, the animals either ran off or died from the eruption. But, most of the people left were perfectly preserved.

When it erupted in 79 CE, it destroyed buildings. 15,000 to 20,000 people died in the eruption. It also covered the city in 3 meters of volcanic ash.
