. . . . Mount Vesuvius, on the shore of the Bay of Naples, had erupted on a massive scale in 1780 B.C., (the Avelliono Eruption) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avellino_eruption www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.0508697103 and again around seven hundred years before it most famous eruption, in AD 79, during the reign of the emperor Titus. The Romans had some understanding of the dangers of earthquakes, having witnessed a severe one in Campania in AD 62 or 63. However, they did not know that the earth tremors felt near Vesuvius in the days before the eruption were intimations of the catastrophe. Writing just a few years earlier, Seneca speculated that there might be a connection between earthquakes and the weather; he did not consider the connection to volcanoes. “There had been noticed for many days before a trembling of the earth.” Wrote Pliny igppweb.ucsd.edu/~gabi/sio15/lectures/volcanoes/pliny.html the younger to the historian Tacitus, “which did not alarm us much, as this is quite an ordinary occurrence in Campania.” The eruption of the morning of August 24 ejected a vast, tree-shaped cloud of stones, ashes, and volcanic gases to a height of twenty one miles, raining molten rock, pulverized pumice, and ash onto the towns of Pompeii, Herculaneum, Oplontis, and Stabiae. As the huge cloud collapsed, it created a pyroclastic surge -- a searingly hot blast of gas and debris that shot out sideways from the slopes of the volcano. The thermal energy released is estimated to have been 100,000 times greater than that of the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 ~ Page 81
