Cincinnati Museum Center Presents A Day in Pompeii 24 August 79 A.D. was a pretty bad day to be a resident of Pompeii or Herculaneum.  In fact, if towns had tombstones, that day would be the R.I.P. date.  Mt. Vesuvius erupted, superheated gases raced down the mountainside scorching the countryside and yards and yards of ash were dumped on the two towns in a matter of hours. Just a little sampling of what Mother Nature can do when really irritated.  And just like that....Pompeii and Herculaneum were gone for centuries and centuries.Then in the 1700s the discoveries started and the two towns came back to life.  Excavations since have uncovered a preservation of a day in the life of Romans...not a good day for them, but their loss is our gain.  Bodies entombed as they fell, artifacts perfe... 03/18/2012
