The city of Pompeii was destroyed in 79 AD due to the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius. This eruption released a lethal cloud of stones, ashes, and fumes, burying the city under a thick layer of volcanic material. The intense heat and ashfall caused widespread destruction, preserving the city in a state that provides insight into Roman life. The eruption ultimately claimed thousands of lives and left Pompeii lost for centuries until its rediscovery in the 18th century.
