In 79 C.E., the citizens of Pompeii in the Roman Empire were buried by pyroclastic debris derived from an eruption of "Mount Vesuvius".

Mount Vesuvius has many mythological stories associated with it. One is that It was the mountain which was held sacred by Romans and Greeks to their mythical hero who also was a demigod “Hercules” and in its foundation was the city of Herculaneum, another story says that Vesuvius the name came from Oscan word “fesf” meaning “smoke”.

Mount Vesuvius did not only erupt in 79 AD but after that at least has erupted about more than thirty times, recently from 1913-1944.
