The History Of Pompeii

Historians consider the Forum to be the ‘centre of Pompeian life’ therefore it is an important aspect to study as numerous buildings and many events occurred there. From the latest evidence, it is believed that the Pompeian Forum was undergoing a ‘comprehensive, vigorous and ambitious post-earthquake restoration.’ (Bradley. 2005, p.87). The Forum at Herculaneum, however, is still buried under the town of Resina and therefore there is not enough physical evidence to provide a great depth of information. Studies were concentrated on the Forum at Pompeii.

The Temple of Jupiter was built in approximately 150BC, within the Pompeii forum, while Pompeii was inhabited mainly by Oscan’s under the rule/doctrine of the Roman Empire. The Pompeii forum was the economic, religious and political centre of Pompeii and the position of the Temple of Jupiter within this Forum was significant. The Temple stood on

Pompeii was a City in Italy which overall has a great significance in Roman culture. Pompeii was not famous for its rise or its rule but its destruction. Pompeii was a picture perfect world full of culture and rich history, It was destroyed in AD 79 by a Volcanic eruption from Mount Vesuvius. It was a symbol of Roman culture and has a great influence on the future even though it existed so long ago.

One of those ways is their regular daily objects. “Tiny boxes filled with dark, shiny powder tell us that the women liked to wear eye makeup” (The Buried City, 38). Jewelry, especially pearls at the time, was worn as well. Pompeii was full of graffiti. Etched-in phrases or words cover the city. Small grilling

Pompeii is located in Italy's southern Campania region near the coast of the Bay of Naples. In the year 79 C.E Mt. Vesuvius erupted in a ball of ash and pumice, both annihilating the city but leaving it impeccably preserved. The remains of the city provide a fascinating glimpse into life during the Pax Romana, or Roman Peace. The tons of ash that piled on the city preserved things so well that casts of the deceased were made using plaster, and one could see the exact position Pompeii's inhabitants were in when they died. Today the area is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, pulling in approximately 2.5 million tourists

Pompeii was a city of ancient Rome. Pompeii as well as Herculaneum and many other villas were destroyed and buried in 4 to 5m of ash and pumice due to the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius. This happened in 79 AD. Osci found the town in the 6th or 7th century BC. Rome then later on conquered it and made it a colony by 80BC. Approximately 160 years after the eruption, the population rised to 11,000 people, they had a complex water system, an amphitheatre, and a port. The eruption destroyed everything and buried it all under ash making it difficult to find any remains. This evidence was provided from Pliny the Younger who saw the whole thing from a distance and wrote a letter. His uncle was in the city at the time trying to help people make it out. He

Although both Ostia and Pompeii were rural city towns in two different Roman cities, at two different time periods, I think there are many similarities between the two places. Ostia, which lies 15 km from the city of Rome, served as the city’s principal port and harbor because of its geographical location to the Tiber River around 4th century Ancient Rome. As for Pompeii, it shared many similar traits to Ostia, founded around 6-7th B.C.E, it also served as a harbor city-town in modern day Naples.

The city of Pompeii has been frozen in time since the early afternoon of 24th August 79CE. A gigantic time capsule, illustrating the everyday life of ancient Romans, has captured the last moments of at least two thousand people. Pompeii had remained mostly untouched up until 1594 when building an aqueduct, upon uncovering the ashes that worked as a preservative, they found the ruins of a once great town. Casts of people showed their dying moments, gold and precious household items littered the streets. (Staff, 2010) From the ruins of the city, it is reasonable to assume that the rest of Roman society was much the same as Pompeii was at the time of the eruption. (Whipps, 2007)

Pompeii couldn’t be a more normal city than anywhere else in the world. Pompeii was rich in architecture, complex infrastructures, and exquisite works of art. Its location allowed it to become a rich agricultural center. The city of Pompeii was an ancient Roman town-city near modern Naples in the Italian region of Campania, in the territory of the commune of Pompeii. Pompeii, along with Herculaneum and many villas in the surrounding area, was mostly destroyed and buried under 4 to 6 m (13 to 20 ft.) of ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Pompeii was founded around the 6th–7th century BC by the Osci, or Oscans, a people of central Italy, on what was an important crossroad between Cumae, Nola and Stabiae. It had

Pompeii is a Roman city built on the sides of Mt.Vesuvius. In Pompeii had a lot earthquakes in 62 A.D there was a huge earthquake that destroyed many of buildings in Pompeii. A huge eruption occurred one day after the religious festival to vulcan, the Roman God of fire.

Pompeii is a town in Ancient Rome that has been frozen in time. Through systematic excavation the people discovered the amount of colors on the walls of the buildings particularly in the villas of rich citizens and public buildings. They have painted their walls with architecture, still life, mythological scene or any decorative patterns. These paintings used a technique called fresco in which it is executed on wet plaster. The Romans used several pigments in their fresco painting to make it and it displays their
