Pompeii is an ancient city founded in the 6th century BC. The flourishing of the city, mainly due to an efficient port and rich inhabitants, took place in the 3rd and 2nd centuries BCE. Many historians believe that Pompeii in its heyday, mainly because of its architecture, surpassed even Rome itself. In 79 CE the volcano Vesuvius erupted, which made the city disappear for over 1700 years. A thick layer of ash, hot stones and lava covered the entire city, burying thousands of people, animals and numerous buildings.
