First of all remember that Pompeii was not a civilization in itself. It was just a town in the area of Italy called Campania. This area was conquered by many different peoples. The two most important, before Rome, were the Etruscans and the Samnites. The town, village or collection of huts that eventually evolved into the town of Pompeii was influenced by these cultures. The Samnites seemed to have the most lasting impact, due to their language. They spoke the Oscan language and even in the days of the Romans, Oscan was still spoken and archaeologists have found inscriptions in the old Oscan language in the ruins of Pompeii. There is no firm date for these culture or civilization changes, except perhaps for the Roman takeover, which was after the conclusion of the Samnite War.

Archaeologists did not find anything after Pliny the Younger. Pliny the Younger only described the eruption of Mount Vesuvius when it happened in 79. Pompeii was first discovered in 1599 during works to divert a local river, but the uncovered areas were covered again. Pompeii was rediscovered again in 1748 and the first archaeological excavations started in 1764.

The Romans used many subjects and animals for mosaics. They covered whole villas with mosaics on the floors and the paintings in the Vatican are mosaics too. I have been in a villa in Sicily that every floor was covered in mosaics and to see them ramps were put up over them. All sorts of animals and people were pictured. They had lions, tigers, and even girls in swim suits.

Depending on whcih part of the volcano you mean, roughly 220 to 240 kilometres.

They evacuated Pompeii. They residents knew Vesuvius would have a large eruption soon, as it was spouting ash and lava.

people of the resident know that tito lived everywhere but didnt know he had a dog that brings him scraps of food left over

Italian. Pompei is in Italy.
Today it is Italian, in Roman times it was Latin.

In addition to giving an even walking surface and a decorative design, mosaics of ancient Rome reinforced the message around a given space's us. The chained dog with "cave canem" at the entrance of a house in Pompeii, reveals that the people of Pompeii kept dogs inside their homes as pets.

Tito is the Protagonist in the short story "Dog of Pompei" because he is the main character.

Hi everybody the answer is flying

The 79 CE eruption befell the same fate on Pompeii's neighbouring town of Herculaneum.

The genealogy of the town of Pompeii is hard to judge. Ancient Italy consisted of many different peoples, who at different times occupied various regions. Pompeii was no exception. We have no clear idea of who the first inhabitants of Pompeii were, but we do know that at one time it was occupied by the Etruscans and the Sabelli. Most historians simply say that Pompeii was an Oscan speaking town or was occupied by the Oscans although "Oscan" is actually a language not a ethnic group.

It was buried by an Ignimbrite lava flow (hot ash that came as a cloud). This covered the whole town to a depth greater than the height of the houses and thus preserved them intact.

Pompei, Italy - 4.6 square miles (not to be confused with the ancient city which is spelled 'Pompeii').

Pompeii does not erupt. Pompeii was a city that was buried by ash and pumice in 79 AD, during an eruption of the volcano Mount Vesuvius.

They were both pretty similar as they were both covered at the same time and by the same eruption in 79 CE. However, for some reason some wooden objects such as doors and furniture have been preserved exceptionally well in the town of Herculaneum compared to that of Pompeii.

All of it.

It is called its name.

The 79 CE eruption.

Pompeii is about 150 miles from Rome, near the bottom of Italy.

Pompeii was destroyed in 79 ad when the volcano, Vesuvius erupted.

You can see the remains of Pompeii today.
