Discover the fabled city of Herculaneum destroyed by Mt. Vesuvius 2,000 years ago
In 79 AD, the people of Herculaneum, a seaside town in Italy's Bay of Naples, watched in horror as Mt. Vesuvius erupted, hurling a boiling, churning column of gas and ash 10 miles into the sky toward the neighboring city of Pompeii.
