	Vesuvius, AD 79
		When the eruption began on 24 August AD 79, Pliny the Elder, his sister and her son, Pliny the Younger, were staying at Misenum, the naval base 32 km from Vesuvius at the western end of the Bay of Naples.
		Pliny the Elder died at Stabiae, across the Bay, 17km south of Vesuvius, on the morning of 25 August, most probably either from a heart attack brought on by his exertions in the suffocating atmosphere, or by inhaling volcanic ash and toxic gases.
		On the morning of 24 August, the initial phreatic explosion cleared the conduit and was sufficiently disturbing to induce Rectina to send to Pliny the Elder for assistance.

		The presence of the college of the Augustals at Misenum, a very important episode from a historical and archaeological point of view, can be dated between 31 B.C. and.12 B.C. with the creation of the Roman naval base of Misenum, where the "classis Misenensis", the powerful Misenian fleet was stationed.
		This discovery reaffirms the important role Misenum played in ancient times: at Misenum a statue of emperor Trajan was also found: all that is left, however, is its base with dedicatory inscriptions.

		Misenum inizialmente fu sede di ville marittime; a partire dall'inizio del I sec.d.C. ritornò alla sua primitiva vocazione militare.
		Il porto di Misenum, al pari del Portus Iulius sul lago Lucrino, venne impiantato in due bacini naturali; il bacino interno, l'odierno Maremorto, fungeva da cantiere navale, mentre quello esterno, la baia di Miseno, costituiva il porto vero e proprio.
		Essendo la flotta uno strumento di potere personale dell'imperatore, Misenum divenne una sorta di feudo della famiglia imperiale dove più che altrove era sentito il culto della persona dell'imperatore.
