Pompeii is more famous than Herculaneum because of the scale of its destruction and preservation, as well as its larger size and population. The city of Pompeii was buried under a thick layer of volcanic ash, whereas Herculaneum was covered by mud and lava, leading to differing levels of preservation. Additionally, the stories and artifacts uncovered in Pompeii have captured the public's imagination more than those found in Herculaneum.

Herculaneum was the city hardest hit by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius that destroyed Pompeii in 79 AD. It was on the coast due west of the volcano, near present-day Ercolano. The city was covered to a great depth by mud and ash, which kept most of the city's buildings intact and preserved their contents for centuries.
