Pompeii

Giuseppe Fiorelli was an archaeologist, who made major contributions to the study of Pompeii. He trained archaeologists in the layer by layer method of unearthing, thus preserving artifacts. He initiated a method of uncovering the houses of Pompeii from the top down to the street, minimizing any loss or further damage to the buildings. He is most famous for developing the plaster casts of the people, animals and plants that were covered in ash thereby giving us the lifelike features of the victims.

Mount Vesuvius.

The Romans did not predict the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. That is why so many people in Pompeii and herculaneum died.

Because they had no other explanation for why the volcano erupted.

Due to the age of this story, no one is really sure of the breed of the dog in the story "Dog Of Pompeii." It could very easily be a mutt, a mix of two or more dog breeds. I have heard that it was a Boxer and a German Shepherd Dog mix. The German Shepherd Dog part is from the coloring of the dog's pelt, and perhaps more, but you can see the resemblance of the Boxer in the canine. The head structure, the tail, and the chest area. But, once again, no one is really sure of the breed.

The Forum which was the 'town centre' of Pompeii is a very important area. Important buildings inlcude, the Temple of Isis, the Temple of Jupiter, Juno and Minerva, The Temple of Apollo, the bakery, the covered theatre, the large theatre, the amphitheatre, the house of the tragic poet, the house of the faun, the brothel, the main public baths, the court room, the marine gate, the Herculaneum gate, the port, the house of the chaste lovers.

To get breakfast for Tito

It was buried in 4 to 6 metres of ash

Their hearts stop, and the rest of their organs fail shortly after that. When there is no more oxygen to the brain, it dies and than the organism is dead. they also get hit by cars and guns and cross bows with broad head arrows

Well, it...kind of depends......where you're from.....

There wasn't a particular evacuation process, the people just fled the city.

Bakery, brothels, bars, tavernas, small shops that sold clothes, jewellery, sliver wear, metal works and other small items, furniture makers, cotton spinning, clothes makers.

Pompeii isn't an Island. It is a town that lies near to Naples in the Bay of Naples. This is in the Campania region of South West Italy.

The area that pompeii is in is called campania because of the volcano in the area vesuvius the ground is very fertil. The Mediterranean is along the equator and the combination of these makes the campania reagion one of the most fertil places in the world often called the breadbaskit if italy.

Pompeii is a ruined Roman city near modern Naples in the Italian region of Campania, in the territory of the commune of Pompeii. It was destroyed, and completely buried, during a catastrophic eruption of the volcano Mount Vesuvius on 24 August 79 AD. The volcano buried Pompeii under many meters of ash, and it was lost for 1,600 years before its accidental rediscovery in 1748. Since then, its excavation has provided an extraordinarily detailed insight into the life of a city at the height of the Roman Empire. Today, it is a main tourist attraction of Italy and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Pompeii was a desirable place to live for two main reasons. Firstly, the soil was very fertile, due to Mount Vesuvius, which was very close. The people of Pompeii didn't know that Vesuvius was a volcano, so were unaware that it was the cause for the fertile land. Secondly and lastly, the location of Pompeii was close to the Bay of Naples, therefore, it provided the necessary transportation for traders. Pompeii was a very busy town with people bustling about, and it can be said that there were many amenities of life.

Pompeiiâ??s climate is characterized as Mediterranean. Summer months can be hot and steamy with temperatures that range from 80 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. While the spring temperatures can vary between 60 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit, the months of November through February are rainy and cooler in temperature.

Stone houses, with flat rooves and hand-made bricks.

When Tito couldn't participate in the sports like the other kids, he didn't really mind! When Tito heard the man saying" those who do not listen to men will be taught by the gods," he felt a little curious. When Bimbo saved Tito from the explosions of the volcano, and Bimbo never returned, He felt scared and bewildered!

A man named Giuseppe Fiorelli found that cavities in the compact ash were actually in space in which a body had once been but had since decayed, leaving the bones laid at the bottom. He found that if he pour plaster into these spaces that when it hardened the plaster would reveal an extremely detailed and precise cast of the person that had once died there.

it was a rich place they where well-educated and had high standard of living they had theatres, shops, houses, baths, cobbled streets and temples
