| The city of Pompeii was an ancient Roman town-city near modern Naples. Pompeii along with Herculaneum and many villas in the surrounding area, were mostly destroyed and buried under 4 to 6 m of ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. The grassy foro adjacent to the temple was the city's main piazza, a huge traffic-free rectangle flanked by limestone columns. North of the forum stands the Tempio di Giove, one of whose two flanking triumphal arches remains. |
