Before the eruption in 79 AD, Mount Vesuvius had an estimated width of about 12 kilometers (approximately 7.5 miles) at its base. The mountain's size and shape have changed due to subsequent eruptions and geological activity. The eruption in 79 AD primarily destroyed the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, but it also altered the landscape of the volcano itself.
