  1. In 79 AD, the #ancient #city of #Herculaneum was #overwhelmed and #buried by multiple #pyroclasticflows resulting from a devastating #eruption of Mount #Vesuvius. The city's everyday environment was abruptly #encased in #solidrock, allowing #organicmaterials to be #preserved better than in #Pompeii. These include the #Herculaneumpapyri (see ref).

  2. โœจRiot at the arena!โœจ

    This fresco depicts a riot at the arena in Pompeii. The fresco likely depicts the riot that broke out in 59 CE between Pompeians and the neighbouring Nucerians. When news of the riots reached Rome, the emperor Nero banned events at the arena for a decade! Today this fresco can be seen at the MAN Napoli.

  4. Mind blown by Pompeii. This place is other-worldly. We spent the whole day, and I could spend a month here exploring and being steeped in history. #Pompeii #NotAlaska
