Scientific studies estimate that the ash and pomice cloud of the initial eruption was 15 to 30 kilometres high and that there were six eruptions. The cloud of the first eruption hit Pompeii and when it fell a surge of gas and rock fragments hit Herculaneum on the other side of the volcano

How high is the volcanoe Pompeii?
Pompeii isn't a volcano; it was a city. However in August 79 A.D Mount Vesuvius (a volcano located in Campania, Italy) erupted destroying the city and its sister city Herculaneum. The eruption may have killed more than 16,000 people and the ash, mud and rock from the eruption buried the city of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Although you did ask how high a volcano was, so I'll tell you how high Vesuvius is to be fair; Mount Vesuvius is 4190 feet tall.
