Pompeii was an city on the Italian peninsula during the time of the ancient Roman Empire. The city became famous for the unfortunate natural disaster of the eruption of the volcano Mount Vesuvius. It became however, an archaeologist's dream come true in that the city was preserved underneath the lava and ashes of the volcano. Because of this various aspects of ancient Roman city life have been preserved.
