	Pompeii (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		:''Pompeii is not to be confused with the Roman general Pompey.'' The city of Pompeii, along with Herculaneum and many smaller places around the Bay of Naples, were Roman municipalities destroyed during an eruption of the volcano Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
		Pompeii took part in the war that the towns of Campania initiated against Rome, but in 89 BC it was besieged by Sulla.
		A quiet street in Pompeii An important current field of research concerns structures that were being restored at the time of the eruption (presumably damaged during the earthquake of 62).

		Pompeii is a ruined Roman city near modern Naples in the Italian region of Campania.
		Pompeii is located at coordinates 40В° 44′55″N, 14В° 30′15″E, southeast of Naples, near the modern suburban town of Pompei.
		The inhabitants of Pompeii, as those of the area today, had long been used to minor tremors and wisps of gas from Mt. Vesuvius, and in 62 there had been a series of earthquakes serious enough to cause structural damage to houses in town.

	Pompeii / Pompei, Italy
		The ruined city of Pompeii lies 20km/12mi southeast of Naples at the foot of Vesuvius, near the Gulf of Naples.
		Pompeii, probably founded by the Oscans, an Italic people, became Roman after the Samnite wars (290 B.C.), and by the first century A.D. was a prosperous provincial capital with a population estimated at 20,000.
		Visitors to Pompeii get a more immediate and more vivid impression of ancient life - in luxurious mansions and more modest houses, in the markets and the streets, in baths, theaters and temples - than on any other ancient site; and much of what they see will strike them as astonishingly modern.

		Herculaneum: the sculptures of the Villa of the Papyri
		As a whole, these busts represent the richest gallery of ancient faces in marble and bronze that survive, and for their first century viewers they personified a cultural history of antiquity that Rome had made its own.
		Identifying each bust with certainty, however, is difficult: few were named and the ancient penchant for contriving physiognomies of cultural figures from the flavour of their literary works or their reputed character, further complicates the task.

		The tragedy for the citizens of Pompeii was thus transformed into a mirror of the marvels of the city that could be viewed by posterity.
		The event, a competition between Pompeii and a rival town, degenerated from verbal insult to stone throwing and finally the use of weapons such as daggers and swords.
		The austere style of building of houses in Pompeii and their very sparse furnishings, as was the custom of the times, encouraged the use of fresco painting for decorative purposes.

		The mountain is very interesting both from a historical and from a geological/volcanological perspective and offers great views of the Bay of Naples (unless it´s foggy or the smoke from the crater covers your vision), one of the most beautiful vistas in Europe.
		How did the city planners, in several centuries BC, know just where to place Pompeii so that 2,000 years later it would be at an off-ramp of the Autostrada, next to a railway station, hotels, and the campsite.
		It’s interesting to note that Pompeii’s amphitheater, and the two theaters, are perhaps the most complete structures of their type to have survived the ages.

		Generally, the term art gallery is used to mean buildings or locations dedicated to displaying and/or selling art, though the large rooms in museums where art is displayed for the public are often referred to as galleries as well, with a room dedicated to museum art often being called the Egyptian Gallery, for example.

		This established the gallery as a series of interconnected rooms with largely uninterrupted wall spaces for hanging pictures and indirect lighting from National Gallery of Victoria or roof lanterns.

	Pompeii: Stories From an Eruption
		Based on the scarcity of human remains found until then, it was thought that the majority of the town’s inhabitants managed to flee from the eruption.
		An hour later, a second surge of ash began, but with a lower temperature and higher velocity, which caused the flow to begin tearing apart the upper stories of buildings, carrying with it a large amount of construction material.
		By the end of the day, Herculaneum had been buried by another four surges, which resulted in a deposit of more than 75 feet of volcanic matter.

	ACTA ACCLA - Roman Wall Painting by Kelly Ramage
		Some are to be found in various villas in Rome, such as Livia’s villa on the Palatine, but we owe a great debt to the beautiful discoveries from the area of Campania around Naples, which includes Pompeii and Herculaneum, and were preserved by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in AD 79.
		The 2nd Pompeian style, or the "architectonic style", began in Pompeii itself shortly after 80 BC and there are examples found in Rome which are somewhat earlier.
		It is similar to the 3rd style in that the use of panels of various topics continue and are given an illusion of portability by being set into trompe-l'oeil aediculae, screens, and tapestries.

		The buried buildings of Pompeii were designed to last only a few decades - but are still standing after nearly 2000 years.
		Pompeii was buried - although not, as we now know, destroyed - when the nearby, supposedly extinct, volcano Vesuvius erupted in AD 79, covering the town and its inhabitants in many tons of pumice and volcanic ash.
		The disaster remained in people's minds for many years but was eventually forgotten, until the exploration of the ancient site started in an area called 'Civita', in 1748.
