The only named person who witnessed the eruption and later wrote about it was Pliney the Younger. However he was not actually in Pompeii, he was across the bay. The others who survived and escaped are not named, but there were thousands of them.
The prisoner survived the eruption of Mount Pelée in 1902 by being held in a dungeon-like cell with limited ventilation. The thick stone walls protected him from the deadly pyroclastic flow that engulfed the town. Additionally, the cell's location within the prison complex shielded him from the direct impact of the eruption.
Artifacts that survived the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD primarily include well-preserved frescoes, mosaics, pottery, and everyday items found in the buried cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. These artifacts provide valuable insights into Roman life, art, and culture at the time. Additionally, casts of victims, created by pouring plaster into the voids left in the ash, reveal the tragic human impact of the eruption. The preservation of these items is due to the unique conditions created by the volcanic ash, which effectively sealed and protected them from the elements.

Mount Vesuvius is most famously known for its eruption in AD 79, which destroyed the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. There is no significant record of an eruption in AD 49; however, historians suggest that the eruption in AD 79 had a devastating impact on the population, with thousands perishing. Estimates indicate that around 2,000 people are believed to have survived the AD 79 eruption, but exact numbers are difficult to ascertain.
Very few people survived the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Pompeii was buried under four to six metres of volcanic ash.
