"When Vesuvius erupted on 24 August AD 79, it engulfed the two
flourishing Roman towns of Pompei and Herculaneum, as well as the many
wealthy villas in the area. These have been progressively excavated and
made accessible to the public since the mid-18th century. The vast
expanse of the commercial town of Pompei contrasts with the smaller but
better-preserved remains of the holiday resort of Herculaneum, while the
superb wall paintings of the Villa Oplontis at Torre Annunziata give a
vivid impression of the opulent lifestyle enjoyed by the wealthier
citizens of the Early Roman Empire." -http://whc.unesco.org
