Mount Vesuvius is an active volcano located in the Gulf of Naples Italy. It is well known for its eruption in 79 A.D. which destroyed the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. The eruption is believed to have occurred in late August or early September 79 A.D. The first signs of the eruption were recorded on August 24 79 A.D. A thick cloud of ash and pumice was observed over the Bay of Naples. The eruption lasted for two days culminating in a massive pyroclastic flow.

The cities were preserved for centuries providing an invaluable insight into the life of the Roman Empire.Therefore the year that Mount Vesuvius erupted was 79 A.D.
