Before the catastrophic eruption in 79 AD, Mount Vesuvius had been dormant for approximately 800 years. Its last significant activity prior to that eruption was around 1 AD. This long period of dormancy led the inhabitants of nearby Pompeii and Herculaneum to consider the volcano as a stable and safe feature of their landscape. The eruption in 79 AD was unexpected and had devastating consequences for the surrounding communities.
