Description
Herculaneum, a Roman town on the Bay of Naples, was destroyed in AD79 by the same catastrophic eruption of Vesuvius that buried nearby Pompeii. Long lost, this small town was only rediscovered in the early 18th century and initially explored through tunnels burrowed into the rock-hard volcanic sludge that had totally encased it.
