Herculaneum was a town that was devastated by Vesuvius!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Oh man! It's hard to imagine how many places that ash from that volcano covered up - all sorts of farms and villas which will never be found!. The other important town which has been excavated is Herculaneum - and just outside of town they've even found a library!. Up to now they haven't been able to read any of the books though!.

There's a thousand years of archeology in the area of destruction from that volcano!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
