Pompeya is located in Italy, It´s near to Nápole. It´s in southwest of Italy. It´s is downhill from the Vesubio volcano.
Pompeya was a important city in Roman empire. It was a very good economy for the proximity with the sea and fertile land. One of the most remarkable is the road network that they had. In the city lived more than twenty five thousand people.
In the seventy two years the Vesubio volcano erupted. In the catastrophe died more that two thousand people. The people who died was skeptics, slaves or people who can´t be evacuated.
The important of this place is the perfect maintenance for the volcanic ash. You can found body, building, art and object intact. It´s like the time don´t pass in this place.
