Description
This is a picture from inside the ancient town of Pompeii.
Pompeii was a Roman town-city near modern Naples in the Italian region of Campania,
It was destroyed and completely buried during a long catastrophic eruption of the volcano Mount Vesuvius spanning two days. The eruption buried Pompeii under 4 to 6 meters of ash and pumice, and it was lost for over 1,500 years before its accidental rediscovery in 1599. Since then, its excavation has provided an extraordinarily detailed insight into the life of a city at the height of the Roman Empire.
