Just about all the buildings one would expect to find in an ancient town have been found in Pompeii. That's what makes it so interesting. There were many private houses, both large and small, brothels, bakeries, public latrines, the amphitheater, gladiatorial barracks, public buildings and temples. Of course many of these buildings are in various states of preservation. The streets, with their crossing stones have also been dug out and also the water works.

What type of people lived in Pompeii in 79ad?
Nothing because everyone is dead from the Nuclear bomb dropped on it by YugouslaviaTo the retard who wrote this:The dude wanted to know what was the population, not what it is now.I think that they wanted to know the population before all of that crap like the bomb and the eruption happened, and I've seen 20,000 in a quite a few sites, so here you go. (And so did I)*Yugoslavia, not Yugouslavia.PS, you suck at punctuation and grammar.
What evidence is there that some of Pompeii's people were wealthy?
The villas and objects that have been found.
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.
Is it impossible to make plaster casts of the newly found bodies of Herculaneum because their bodies were vaporized immediately by a pyroclastic surge?
It is not possible to make the same kind of casts at Herculaneum as Fiorelli made in Pompeii. In Pompeii, the ash fallout settled around bodies then hardened, creating a cavity in the shape of the body. Herculaneum experienced different conditions to Pompeii in the eruption; it was covered in a thick layer of hot volcanic material sometimes described as 'mud' which did not harden around the shape of the bodies in the same way as the ash did in Pompeii. So the remains that have been found in Herculaneum have been skeletons, (remembering that of course in Pompeii a skeleton is inside the plaster cast, and many skeletons were also found there that were not cast).Interestingly, the casting technique is today being used to make a modern cast of the actual remains; these can be displayed without the issue of whether human remains should be viewed. Some of the skeletons of Herculaneum from the beachfront have been recently cast in this way for display purposes.See 'Pompeii & Herculaneum: Interpreting the Evidence' by Dr Brian Brennan and Dr Estelle Lazer.
Why did the people in Pompeii did not leave the city when Vesuvius began to erupt?
Most likely just what happened with Mount St. Helen's. A sudden, explosive eruption that couldn't be anticipated even with modern technology. So it's even less likely that, in the time that Vesuvius erupted and buried Pompeii, people would have anticipated the eruption and by the time it did, there was no way to escape.
Has Pompeii vesuvio and ercolano been rebuilt since the last mt vesuvius eruption?
no
What is the damage of vesuvius?
Mount Vesuvius erupted in Pompeii. It surrounded most of the city in pumice and ash. The entire city of Pompeii had been killed by the eruption.
Did anybody in the Pompeii volcanic eruption?
Your question is incomplete, therefore the answer has to be guessed. If you are asking how many people escaped the eruption, not many did because the eruption was sudden and caught people by surprise. The number of deaths is also uncertain. It has been estimated that the population of Pompeii was about 8,000 to 12,000.

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.

What has been happening in the pompeii ruins?
Pompeii is still an archeological dig and is open for visitors. I was there in 05 and my big surprise was that I had to walk up hill in a tunnel to the ruins. The eruption dumped 65 feet of ash and rocks and that means the ground level today is below the Pompeii level. Not all of Pompeii is uncovered, but the city was large and the things you see today show you what life was like in 79 AD. Murals on walls of the villas are still as vibrant and colorful as they were when the eruption happened. If you live in California the Getty villa in Santa Monica is an exact copy of a Pompeii villa that is a museum of ancient art. It is free to visit and Getty copied it down to the plants that were found in Pompeii. It is worth a visit if you can get there.
Why did mount vesuvius erupt in Pompeii?
Because Pompeii is located on the slopes of the volcano.
How much of Pompeii has been uncovrerd?
It has almost all been uncovered now. They are now uncovering the neighbouring town of Herculaneum as it was also covered in the 79 CE eruption.
What evidence is there that some of Pompeii's people were wealthy?
The villas and objects that have been found.
