All around the Meditterranean, you can find Roman ruins. Only those near the Vesuvius volcano can give you a real insight in the daily life of Romans.
The thick layer under which the people were buried, sometimes reaching over 16 metres, would remain intact until the 18th century. While excavations still continue to the present day, it is possible to visit the ruins of several villages and towns. There are remarkable differences between the ruins. Herculaneum is smaller, and has remained more intact than Pompei. You can visit the baths, see mosaics on floors and walls, and even completely carbonized pieces of wooden constructions in houses.
