Mount vesuvius last erupted in March, 1944
AD. 79
The eruption of Vesuvius in March 1944 was the last eruption. Since then the volcano has been in a quiescent stage without any major sign of activity.
Vesuvius has erupted about three dozen times since 79 A.D., most recently from 1913-1944. The 1913-1944 eruption is thought to be the end of an eruptive cycle that began in 1631.

The early morning of 24th August 79AD
In roman times, AD 79 and many more since, but AD 79 was the famous one
AD. 79
Mt. Vesuvius erupted on August 24th 79 A.D.
The first recorded eruption was the famous one of 79 AD when it covered the city of Pompeii and its surrounding towns.

After forming from lava buildups between about 25,000 and 19,000 years ago, Vesuvius apparently began having widely spaced explosive eruptions. Evidence for at least 4 large events has been uncovered from the subterranean rock layers. A likely eruption took place around 217 BC when the region was sparsely populated, preceding the famous Pompeiian eruption by about 300 years. Vesuvius has had about 30 major eruptions since 79 AD, but most since then have been much less violent. The last was in 1944.
Mt. Vesuvius erupted many times. The most famous one is the one that destroyed Pompeii on August 24, A.D.79
