Mount Vesuvius first erupted in 79 AD, most famously during the eruption that destroyed the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. This catastrophic event buried the cities under volcanic ash and pumice, preserving them for centuries. The eruption was one of the deadliest in European history, and Vesuvius has continued to be an active volcano in the years since.
