Were there any survivors after the Tambora eruption?
Of course there had to be at least one?
Did Pompeii affect any more city?
The 79 CE eruption befell the same fate on Pompeii's neighbouring town of Herculaneum.
How many people died in the eruption of Herculaneum?
We don't know how many people escaped Pompeii before the eruption. We don't know the population of Pompeii, so any estimation of the deaths or the escapees is pure guess work, not solid fact.We don't know how many people escaped Pompeii before the eruption.

Where there any eyewitnesses to the eruption of Pompeii?
Yes, we have written evidence in a letter from Pliny the Younger, where he describes the volcanic cloud and eruption and his uncle's efforts to save the refugees.
Were there any survivors in pompeii?
Some survivors were helped by the fleet at Miseneum. Others like Pliny the Younger were able to walk the relatively short distance to safety (less than 10 miles). Only 2,000 died in Pompeii. A small number in Herculaneum waited until it was too late. The majority of the residents of both Herculaneum and Pompeii fled. There are records of them being in Neopolis after the quake. Many homes in both cities were vacation homes so presumably some people returned to their main residences. Other accounts report survivors returning to dig and try to salvage valuables. The Emperor sent money for relief to the survivors. It must have been a huge refugee crises with 30,000 or more people fleeing to Neapolis, Miseneum and other communities around the Bay of Naples.
Did any ancient roman citizen survived when the volcano in Pompeii hit?
Very few people survived the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Pompeii was buried under four to six metres of volcanic ash.
Why did mount vesuvius erupt in Pompeii?
Because Pompeii is located on the slopes of the volcano.
What is the average rainfall of ancient rome?
It was an even amount of rain and there were rarely any disasters accept for the volcano eruption in Pompeii
Who lived in Pompeii?
yes there is the old pompeii which is a historical tourist area. This is the area that was destroyed. There is also a new pompeii which is a fully functioning town. People live there and work there. Because of the technology these days they can expect when mount vesuvious is going to erupt
Why is Pompeii referred to as the lost city?
The city of Pompeii was forgotten because after the eruption and subsequent burial by the volcanic debris, the place was unlivable. The people who escaped sent their servants back to try and rescue any of their possessions that they could and the looters moved in. Then it was simply ignored. People who lived at the time remembered it but when they died out all memory of Pompeii was forgotten.
How many people lived in pompeii before the eruption in 79 Ad?
We have no idea of the number of people killed or injured in the 79 eruption of Pompeii because we have no firm idea of how many people lived in the area. Any figure given out is always speculation and it is always stated as so by the writers.
Could the destruction of Pompeii have been caused by the goth attack on rome?
No. Pompeii happened in 79 AD the attack on Rome in 410 AD so the two are not related in any form. Pompeii was buried by a volcanic eruption ( parts are still buried today since it comprises of 65 acres) and there is historical proof that is what happened to the city. Not only are there eyewitness accounts and the ruins of the people/city for historians to see but the volcano is still there and active. The last eruption was in the 1940's.
