Mount Vesuvius has experienced eight major eruptions in the last 17,000 years. The 79 AD eruption is one of the most well-known ancient eruptions in the world, and may have killed more than 16,000 people.
It is not known how many people the eruption killed. The remains of about 332 bodies have been found at Herculaneum.
More than 3,000 people were killed when Mount Vesuvius erupted on August 24, AD 79.

The Mount Vesuvius eruption of 0079 killed over 1000 people.
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.
More than half of the Pompeii population suffered, if not from suffocating under the stones and ash, most people who stood on the beach awaiting rescue, died from the poisinous gases spewed from Vesuvius.
