Pompeii
By:
Isabel Diaz
Pompeii e situato sotto Roma.
Monte Vesuvio
Erupted without
warning on august
24, 79 AD.
A thick cloud of gray ash
soon covered the sky
Tragically, a lot of
people were not
able to escape fast
enough.
Pliny the elder
(Gaius Plinius
Secundus) was a
natural
philosopher,
military
commander and
provincial
governor. Sadly, he
died on August 24,
79 when mount
Vesuvius erupted.
Pliny the younger
(Gaius Plinius
Caecilius
Secundus) was a
politician and
author. He was
Pliny the elder’s
nephew and he
also died on
August 24.
Temple of Jupiter
(Tempio di Giove)
House of the Vettii
Casa del Fauno
Forum
Pompeii Amphitheater
Building of Eumachia
Large Theatre
Basilica
These paintings (pittura) were recovered
(ritrovato) after the eruption (eruzione) of
mount Vesuvius so most of the painters
(pittore) are unknown (ignoto).
Pompeii was also known for the sex (sessuale) scandal
(scandalo) so it reflects on the paintings
