No, there was no tsunami during the destruction of Pompeii. The city was buried under volcanic ash and pyroclastic flows following the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. This catastrophic event was primarily due to volcanic activity rather than seismic activity that would typically generate a tsunami. The destruction was caused by the direct impact of the eruption rather than any associated tidal waves.
