Pompeii, a Roman city frozen in time by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, offers a unique glimpse into daily life in the ancient world. Once a bustling metropolis, Pompeii was buried under layers of ash and pumice, preserving its structures, art, and even the remains of its inhabitants. Today, the excavated ruins stand as a poignant reminder of the city's sudden demise and serve as a valuable resource for archaeologists and historians. From the amphitheater and forum to the homes and shops, Pompeii's preserved cityscape paints a vivid picture of Roman society, revealing its customs, beliefs, and everyday routines.
