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.
When the inhabitants of villages around the Vesuvius heard and saw the Vesuvius erupt in a violent spectacle of fire, stones, ashes, and lava, they did not realize that their villages would turn into the most famous ruins on earth almost 2 millennia later on. Instead, they tried to flee towards the sea, they tried to find shelter in their houses, they tried to protect themselves by covering their bodies with clothes. But the volcanic forces were so strong and relentless, and lasted for such a long time, that only the really lucky ones escaped. For many thousands, death descended from heaven.
