Herculaneum
Description
The lesser known relation to Pompeii. The city was destroyed in the same eruption, but where as Pompeii was suffocated by the pyroclastic flow of superheated gasses, Herculaneum succumbed to a massive flow of mud and lava which buried the town until it was rediscovered in the 17th century. Not all of the site has been uncovered as much of it lies underneath the modern Neapolitan suburb of Ercolano, but what has been uncovered is in amazing condition.
