Description A wider view of the blazing cloud about to submerge Herculaneum, slightly visible despite the curtains of raining pumice.


"Meanwhile, tall broad flames blazed from several places on Vesuvius and glared out through the darkness of the night. My uncle soothed the fears of his companions by saying that they were nothing more than fires left by the terrified peasants, or empty abandoned houses that were blazing." Pliny the Younger's Letters to Tacitus Made on Photoshop.
