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.

The eruption of 79 AD killed thousands of people but it also covered 1000 kilometers of land in ash which made the city of Pompeii inhabitable for decades. According to scientific investigation the citizens in Pompeii and surrounding cities were not expecting the upcoming eruption. Today Pompeii is a tourist attraction that makes thousands of dollars every day. Tourists worldwide come to see this incredible volcano. No one currently lives in Pompeii but in towns around it over 3 million people live close enough that if the volcano happened to erupt again it would be catastrophic. If the eruption of Pompeii would occur today the economic disaster would be much worse we might be able to detect the upcoming eruption but it would still prove to be disastrous.
