How many people did vesuvius kill ad 79?

Answer 1

The cities of Pompeii and Herculean were both completely buried in ash. Everyone who lived there were killed.

that's actuallly not true. 90 percent of pompeii's residents survived. 10 percent died.

Answer 2

We don't know how many people died in the 79 AD eruption of Vesuvius and we probably never will know. For one reason, we don't have a count of the population of the area at the time, so we can't say how many people even lived there. For another reason, the entire area around Vesuvius was destroyed including other towns and the country farmers. And Yet another reason, Pompeii itself is not completely excavated. So there is absolutely no way to tell how many deaths Vesuvius caused.

Answer 3

We don't know and probably never will know. We have no firm numbers of how many people were in the area of the damage at the time. Also, all of Pompeii and most of the other towns that were affected have not been fully excavated. Estimates run from as low as 2,000 to as high as 30,000, but these are guesses and not facts.
