On august 24, 79 A.D the volcano Vesuvius erupted and covered where?

Answer 1

On August 24, 79 A.D., the eruption of Mount Vesuvius famously covered the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, among others. The eruption released a deadly cloud of stones, ashes, and fumes to a height of 33 kilometers (20.5 miles), and the resultant pyroclastic flows buried the cities under layers of ash and pumice. This catastrophic event preserved many structures and artifacts, providing valuable insights into life in ancient Rome.
