Pompeii's Final Day: What We Actually Know

Was Pompeii destroyed on August the twenty-fourth, as the traditional date claims? A charcoal inscription, ancient letters, and the city's buried streets make the story more complicated. This film follows what the evidence can tell us about the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 CE, the stages of the disaster, and the people caught inside it. There is no reliable minute-by-minute record of Pompeii's last hours. The real archaeological record is compelling enough. #Pompeii #Vesuvius #AncientRome
