This is the Forum of Pompeii as it would have looked in the year 61 CE. In February of 62 CE, an intense earthquake left the Forum and parts of the city in ruin. 17 years later on Aug 24 in 79 CE, Mt.Vesuvius erupted. The Emperor Nero ruled the Roman Empire at the time. It is estimated up to 3,000 people died out of a population of 20,000. Most people evacuated just after Vesuvius erupted. The citizens & slaves took what they could carry, leaving behind treasures of artifacts still in place.
