Long ago the Oscans (inhabitants) built a city in the Southern part of Italy which was different from the other towns in Campania. The city was called Pompeii. Many rich and famous Romans go to Pompeii for its beautiful sceneriy, which led them to build villas inside the city. Pompeii became a port city in the early century; there were merchants, artisans and landowners. If you are quite familiar with its location you can clearly see that Pompeii is a nearby city under Mount Vesuvius.
According to legends the eruption of Mount Vesuvius is a sign that a wealthy man will soon be deceased. The mountain became a cradle for the inhabitants. It provided fertile lands for its people. Eventually Mount Vesuvius sought something in return. Mount Vesuvius embraced the city of Herculaneum and Pompeii with darkness and misery in the August of 79th AD. There were stories that the wrath of Gods caused the eruption of Mount Vesuvius but no one really knows what made it happen. The entire city was wiped out and buried 25 meters under the thick soils and rocks. The lost city of Pompeii was waiting until someone discovers it.
