Century A.D.
Mount
Vesuvius (Italian: Monte Vesuvio, Latin: Mons Vesuvius)
is a stratovolcano on the Bay of Naples, Italy,
about 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) east of Naples and a
short distance from the shore. It is the only volcano
on the European mainland to have erupted within
the last hundred years, although it is not currently
erupting. The two other major active volcanoes in
Italy, Etna and Stromboli, are located on islands.
Mount Vesuvius is best known for its eruption in
AD 79 that led to the destruction of the Roman cities
of Pompeii and Herculaneum. They were never rebuilt,
although surviving townspeople and probably looters
did undertake extensive salvage work after the destructions.
The towns' locations were eventually forgotten until
their accidental rediscovery in the 18th century.
The eruption also changed the course of the Sarno
River and raised the sea beach, so that Pompeii
was now neither on the river nor adjacent to the
coast. Vesuvius itself underwent major changes –
its slopes were denuded of vegetation and its summit
changed considerably due to the force of the eruption.
Vesuvius has erupted many times since and is today
regarded as one of the most dangerous volcanoes
in the world because of the population of 3,000,000 people
living nearby and its tendency towards explosive
(Plinian) eruptions. It is the most densely populated
volcanic region in the world.
