The last time Mount Vesuvius erupted was 1944. It's best known eruption was in AD 79, at which time it destroyed the Roman city of Pompeii. There were warnings in the form of earthquakes, but the people nearby didn't recognize that they were in fact warning signs of an impending eruption.
Mount Vesuvius famously erupted in AD 79 during the summer months, specifically in late August. This eruption buried the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum under ash and pumice, preserving them for centuries. The event is one of the most well-documented volcanic eruptions in history, providing insight into ancient Roman life.
The natives of Pompeii and Herculaneum thought that the Roman gods were showing their anger at the people and that their world was ending. The scientific explanation is that two plates directly under Vesuvius collided, creating an earthquake inside the volcano, which caused it to erupt.
