No. compared to many other volcanoes, the eruption from Vesuvius was small. There are things called "supercvolcanoes". The most famous one i can think of being Yellowstone. Nearly the entire Yellowstone National Park is settled inside the caldera of the volcano. The magma chamber from Yellowstone is big enough to hold New York City.

There are other supervolcanoes in the world, and not all are extinct(such as Yellowstone. Which is overdue for an eruption by a couple thousand years). They are the ones that are real dangers.
