pompei-a-hs4097451:Pompeii was the name of a Roman provincial town with about 20,000 inhabitants that existed from the 7th century BC until the first century AD. Osken, Samnites, Greeks, Etruscans and Romans all left their mark. Pompeii, which had already been hit by an earthquake in 62 A.D., was covered in ash in 79 as a result of the eruption of Vesuvius. This has made it one of the best-preserved Roman cities, although the excavations have been accompanied by erosion and pollution.
After the first remains were discovered at the end of the sixteenth century, archaeological excavations have been carried out since the 18th century. Since then, large parts of the city have been uncovered and the place gives a well-preserved picture of Roman daily life. Pompeii is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is a major tourist attraction, attracting some 2.5 million visitors a year.
