The volcano Mt. Vesuvius was first believed to be a normal mountain. When it erupted again for the first time in over 200 years it took everyone by surprise. . Two of the most well known cities that were destroyed were Pompeii and Herculaneum as well as Stabiae and Oplontis

The volcano erupted for over 19 hours, eventually killing thousands of people, and burying four cities.

The Emperor at the time was Emperor Titus. Emperor Titus Sabinus Vespanius helped the survivours by providing land, food and other vital supplies.
