In 79 AD, the residents of Pompeii would have been engaged in various activities typical of a bustling Roman city. These activities might have included attending the public baths, shopping in the markets, worshipping at temples, socializing in taverns, and participating in festivals and events held in the city. Unfortunately, the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in August of that year tragically froze Pompeii in time, preserving a snapshot of daily life for archaeologists to uncover centuries later.
