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.

How many people survied in the Pompeii incidence?

Pompeii was left in ruins with the city being buried in pumice and ash. Many more people survived than were killed because they had plenty of warning that something was happening or going to happen and they got out. At the latest count there were about 2,000 victims, which, although horrendous in numbers on paper, was only a fraction of the total amount of people who lived in Pompeii. As we have no exact count of the population of Pompeii, (estimates run from 30,000 to 50,000 people) there is no way to determine how many escaped.


What did Pompeii's eruption do?

Killed thousands of people and destoryed the town of Pompeii and Herculaeum.
