Pompeii

The Cave Canem mosaic in Pompeii was made using a technique called opus vermiculatum, which involved creating intricate designs with small, colored tesserae (mosaic tiles). The image of the dog and accompanying words were meticulously crafted by skilled mosaic artisans, combining various colors to bring the scene to life. The process required careful planning, precision, and artistic skill to achieve the final detailed and realistic image.

The dead bodies in Pompeii were preserved by the volcanic ash and pumice that covered the city when Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79. The ash quickly cooled and solidified around the bodies, creating casts of the victims when the bodies decomposed.

The people of Pompeii primarily descended from indigenous Italic tribes, while also incorporating influences from Greek settlers and later Roman conquerors. The city's population was a mix of local Italians, immigrants, and expatriates, creating a diverse and cosmopolitan community.

Giuseppe Fiorelli faced challenges such as the delicate preservation of artifacts due to the volcanic ash covering the city and limited funding for excavations. He introduced innovative techniques like plaster casting to preserve human remains and accurately document the site. Fiorelli was committed to the conservation of Pompeii, emphasizing the importance of preserving the city's artifacts for future generations.

Pompeii is very important to the people you mention in many ways (historians), but one of the most popular reasons is because of the artifacts and skeletons that were left behind by the eruption. These artifacts and skeletons helped archaeologists discover the history and secrets of Pompeii, bringing the historians into play.

The bodies decomposing left a small cavity surrounding the remains. The ash hardened leaving a mold of the person containing just the bones. They located the cavity, drilled a small hole, filled the hole with plaster, then removed the plaster cast containing the bones from the ash.

Yes, Pompeii is known for its archaeological excavation site. The ancient Roman city was buried under volcanic ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Excavations have been ongoing since the 18th century, revealing well-preserved ruins and offering insights into daily life in ancient Pompeii.

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.
