Yes, in AD 62, an earthquake struck Pompeii causing significant damage to the city. This earthquake was a precursor to the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79, which ultimately led to the destruction and burial of Pompeii under ash and pumice.
It is very very old. The Volcano eruption happened in 79 AD. The oldest layer has been dated to the 8th-6th centuries BC, about the time that the city was founded.
In 79 AD Pompeii was destroyed by the volcano, Mt. Vesuvius.
After being badly damaged by an earthquake in 63 AD, Pompeii was completely buried in 79 AD when Mount Vesuvius erupted.
The 62 AD earthquake in Pompeii is attributed to the tectonic activity in the region, which is situated near the boundary of the African and Eurasian tectonic plates. This seismic event resulted from the movement and stress along faults in the earth's crust. The earthquake caused significant damage to structures in Pompeii and surrounding areas, highlighting the vulnerability of the region to geological hazards. Additionally, it served as a precursor to the more catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
