Ruins of Pompei — Attraction in Pompei

The Pompeii Forum inside the ruins of Pompeii is wonderful! My Wife, Family and I really enjoyed visiting this historic archeological site! ERUPTION DATE UPDATED; (Wikipedia) The eruption was documented by contemporary historians and is generally accepted as having started on 24 August 79, relying on one version of the text of Pliny's letter. However the archeological excavations of Pompeii suggest that the city was buried about three months later. This is supported by another version of the letter, which gives the date of the eruption as November 23. People buried in the ash appear to have been wearing heavier clothing than the light summer clothes typical of August. The fresh fruit and vegetables in the shops are typical of October—and conversely the summer fruit typical of August was already being sold in dried, or conserved form. Wine fermenting jars had been sealed, which would have happened around the end of October. Coins found in the purse of a woman buried in the ash include one with a fifteenth imperatorial acclamation among the emperor's titles. These cannot have been minted before the second week of September. So far there is no definitive theory as to why there should be such an apparent discrepancy.

Il Forum Pompei all'interno delle rovine di Pompei è meraviglioso! Mia moglie, famiglia e mi è piaciuto molto questo sito storico archeologico! DATA DI ERUZIONE AGGIORNATO; (Wikipedia) L'eruzione è stata documentata da storici contemporanei ed è generalmente accettato come partito il 24 agosto 79, basandosi su una versione del testo della lettera di Plinio. Tuttavia gli scavi archeologici di Pompei suggeriscono che la città è stato sepolto circa tre mesi più tardi. Questo è supportato da un'altra versione della lettera, che dà la data di eruzione nel novembre 23. Persone sepolti nelle ceneri sembrano essere stati indossare indumenti più pesanti dei vestiti estivi leggeri tipici di agosto. La frutta fresca e verdura nei negozi sono tipici di ottobre, e per converso la frutta estiva tipica di agosto è stato già venduto in secca, o la forma conservata. Vino vasetti fermentazione erano stati sigillati, che sarebbe avvenuto intorno alla fine di ottobre. Le monete trovate nella borsa di una donna sepolta nella cenere includono uno con una acclamazione imperatoriali quindicesimo tra i titoli dell'imperatore. Questi non possono sono state coniate prima della seconda settimana di settembre. Finora non esiste una teoria definitiva sul motivo per cui ci dovrebbe essere una discrepanza così evidente.

Das Pompeji Forum in den Ruinen von Pompeji ist wunderbar! Meine Frau, Familie und ich habe es wirklich genossen diese historische Ausgrabungsstätte zu besuchen! ERUPTION Datum aktualisiert; (Wikipedia) wurde der Ausbruch von zeitgenössischen Historikern dokumentiert und ist allgemein anerkannt, als am 24. August 79 begonnen hat, auf einer Version des Textes von Plinius 'Brief zu verlassen. Allerdings sind die archäologischen Ausgrabungen von Pompeji deuten darauf hin, dass die Stadt wurde später etwa drei Monate begraben. Dies wird durch eine andere Version des Briefes unterstützt, die das Datum des Ausbruchs im November gibt 23 in der Asche begraben Menschen scheinen schwerer Kleidung als die leichte Sommerkleidung typisch für August getragen haben. Das frische Obst und Gemüse in den Geschäften sind typisch Oktober-und umgekehrt die Sommerfrucht August typisch war bereits in getrocknet oder konserviert Form verkauft werden. Wein gärenden Gläser hatte versiegelt worden, die um das Ende Oktober geschehen wäre. Münzen in der Handtasche einer Frau in der Asche begraben gefunden gehören ein mit einem fünfzehnten imperatorische Akklamation unter den Titel des Kaisers. Diese können nicht wurden vor der zweiten Septemberwoche geprägt. Bisher gibt es keine definitive Theorie, warum es eine solche offensichtliche Diskrepanz sein sollte.

Strollers/buggies/prams are allowed and doable but difficult to push through some areas as there are cobbled pathways. Good cloak room facility for big bags/suitcases. They will also give you a clear (colourless) plastic bag for free if you have too many loose items in hand, that can be used as a shoulder bag. That one is really nicely thought out!! Site has a nice but little expensive restaurant. Good facilities throughout. Rail station - Pompeii Scavi - just across the street so travel from and to Naples is very convenient. Found all the staff to be nice and welcoming though some staff weren't fluent in English. I don't blame them but as such, as not many could communicate in English in Italy. (Just mentioning our experience, others' might...

Pompeii is is an old Roman town, situated about 23km southeast of Naples, at the base of the Mount Vesuvius. It is a must be seen ancient site that must be visited, should you ever travel to Italy!!! It took us around 5 hours to walk around the site. I recommend some comfy hiking shoes or sandals to wear, as the roads and the narrow pavements are made from large uneven rocks. There are lots of car parks at the various entrances to the city, but I would advice you to check the less popular smaller car parks, in the nearby back streets, as they are much cheaper and less crowded. The city is amasing, taking you back to the Vll century. The once so prosperous city with the huge Forum centre in the middle suffered tremendous damage and destruction after the eruption of the Mount Vesuvius. The Forum used to be the centre of social, cultural, religious and political life of this ancient Roman city. There are so many ruins to be seen, including old temples and old municipal buildings, courts and urban areas, the many bath houses that the Romans had built and used regularly. I was gobsmacked by how advanced the Romans were, having wells and fountains on many streets and courtyards in the city, having zebra crossings made from large rocks, and having beautiful tiles and decorations inside their houses and shops.

The Forum square has a stand called the Suggestum,,from which the orators spoke to the people. There are so many old statues to be seen of the once important men of the city. It is an amasing ancient historical city with amasing views to the Vesuvius. Every minute that we spent there last summer was...
