The 1631 eruption of Mount Vesuvius lasted for a few days. Reports of time suggest from 2 or 3 days to 4 or 5 days, after which the volcano was only about one third its former altitude. Links can be found below.

When Vesuvius infamously erupted in 79AD, assuming this is the eruption you've asked about, it completely destroyed and buried the towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Of course, this did not benefit the romans living there, as they all had to flee or were suffocated and died. The towns were not discovered until centuries later, by accident. However, it did benefit the archeologists of today, as the ash and debris that buried the towns preserved the paintings and houses and valubles of the townspeople that had fled or died. This means that we know far more about Roman everyday life.
actually it happened in 79 A.D.
