The eruption in 79 AD is undoubtedly the most famous eruption of Vesuvius and perhaps the most famous volcanic eruption in history.
In Roman times, Vesuvius was not considered an active volcano. In 62 A.D. the Vesuvian area was hit by a strong earthquake which caused the collapse of many buildings and also produced damage in Nocera and Naples. At that time it was assumed no relationship between the earthquake and the volcanic area.
On 24 August of 79 A.D. Vesuvius returned to work after a period of peace lasted probably about eight centuries, pouring over the surrounding areas, in little more than thirty hours, about 4 km3 of magma in the form of pumice and ash that buried Pompeii and Herculaneum.
