The Destruction Of Pompeii
Latin Forum Research Paper
For my Latin Forum Project I did research on the destruction of Pompeii. The destruction began on August 24, 79 AD at 8:00 a.m. with a series of small earthquakes which were common in this area. These earthquakes continued on for five hours. By one p.m. smoke filled the air above the nearby volcano Mt. Vesuvius and soon it turned to dark black smoke with larger earthquakes following shortly after. Two hours later the sky was raining hot ash. At three p.m. there was hot ash and earthquakes destroying the city. By five p.m. there were raging fires burning the house to the ground. The dark black smoke cloud coming from Mt. Vesuvius grew larger and larger. Chunks of burning rocks destroyed many houses. Three hours later
