According to the passage, the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79 ----.
In the history of archaeology, the sites of Pompeii and
Herculaneum, lying at the foot of Mount Vesuvius in
Italy, hold a very special place. Even today, when so
many major sites have been systematically excavated, it
is an emotional experience to visit these wonderfully
preserved Roman cities. Pompeii’s fate was sealed on
the momentous day in August AD 79 when Vesuvius
erupted, an unfortunate event described by the Roman
writer, the younger Pliny. The city was buried under
several meters of volcanic ash, which resulted in deaths
of many inhabitants due to lack of air. Herculaneum
nearby was covered with volcanic mud. There the cities
lay, known only from occasional chance discoveries,
until the advent of early archaeology in the early 18th
century. In 1710, the prince of Elboeuf had the good
luck to discover the ancient theatre of Herculaneum.
Yet, he was mainly interested in works of art for his
collection and removed these without any record of their
location. Such acts continued for over 100 years, and it
was not until the late 19th century that well-recorded
archaeological excavations began.
