List 2-5 Pompeii

The Pompeii was the polis that had been placed in near Napoli until AD 1 century. This polis was annihilated by an eruption of Mt. Vesvio in 79. In 18th century, a excavation has been started, and now, some important parts of remain are opened to the public for a charge. This remain is now one of the World Heritage.
In BC 89, the Pompeii became a colony of Roma. And it also became a very important strongpoint to carry many cargos that arrived at the port to send it Roma for Via Appia, and after this, it prospered as a merchant town.
On 5th February in 62, a major earthquake hit the Pompeii, and many towns were damaged so much. Although, towns were soon rebuilt greater than before, on 24th August in 79, Mt. Vesvio erupted. Volcanic ash blew down from the mountain a whole day and night, and the towns were buried under the ground completely until next day. After the annihilation, towns were never built in there. But these zones had been called “the towns”, and many people knew that the ancient polis is buried under the ground because ancient stuffs are withdrawn.
In 1748, the Pompeii was rediscovered. When the explosion in 79 BC, many people who failed to escape died with buried under a volcanic ash. When the town was discovered, their corpses were crumbled and had gone, and spaces were formed instead of their corps. Archeologist poured gypsum into it and restored the people or animals who are trying to escape from the disaster. These are so real and horrible. Remains of the town tells us that the life style of ancient Roman at that time. Breads just were baked, dishes and cutleries on the table, coins, and doodles on the walls tells us the Latin language at that time. The Pompeii was certainly a big city with full of energy.
And even now, many stuffs are discovered from Pompeii. (329 words)
