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.

The Pompeii volcano is not a shield volcano or a cinder cone; it is classified as a stratovolcano. Stratovolcanoes, also known as composite volcanoes, are characterized by steep sides and explosive eruptions due to the combination of lava flows and ash. The eruption of Mount Vesuvius in Pompeii in 79 AD buried the Roman city under layers of ash and pumice.
