Mount Vesuvius is an active volcano located in the Gulf of Naples Italy. It is well known for its eruption in 79 A.D. which destroyed the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. The eruption is believed to have occurred in late August or early September 79 A.D. The first signs of the eruption were recorded on August 24 79 A.D. A thick cloud of ash and pumice was observed over the Bay of Naples. The eruption lasted for two days culminating in a massive pyroclastic flow. The pyroclastic flow destroyed everything in its path burying the nearby cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum in ash and pumice. The cities were preserved for centuries providing an invaluable insight into the life of the Roman Empire.Therefore the year that Mount Vesuvius erupted was 79 A.D.
A.D. stands for "Anno Domini," which is Latin for "in the year of our Lord." It is used to denote years in the Gregorian calendar system, specifically those years following the birth of Jesus Christ. Therefore, A.D. 79 refers to the year 79 in the Common Era.
