Pompeii was an ancient Roman city near today’s Naples built on a lava plateau from ancient eruptions of the Vesuvius volcano about 8 kilometers away. Long before, in the 8th century BC, settlements were already founded in the area. Phoenicians and Greek used the harbor for trade but during the centuries Pompeii was loyal to Rome. It grew into a large wealthy town with around 11000 inhabitants during the Roman times until 79 AD.
