We do not know if the description made by Pliny the Younger of the eruption of 79 AD is reliable or not (he explicitly mentions in the end of the first letter that other persons reported to him most of the facts); we will however recall some of the more important points in his account.
However a record of the destruction of Herculaneum and Pompei is found in Marcus Aurelius (121-180 AD) and in Dio Cassius (AD 150-235).

 Visiting Pompeii - with CWA
Probably, something was already happening to the mountain: a fracturing of the edifice by the movement of magma from the main chambers some 5km below the surface.
But AD 62 was followed by a period of relative calm: the occasional quake as magma shifted further beneath the crust, but nothing on a comparable scale.
On 20 August AD 79, however, major activity resumed with a series of quakes, increasing in frequency over the succeeding four days, as magma forced its way upwards into the feeder pipe of the volcano.
