Tracing the Survivors of Pompeii and Herculaneum, 2,000 Years After Vesuvius Erupted
The source material provides an overview of the 79 CE eruption of Mount Vesuvius that destroyed the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, focusing specifically on the often-overlooked narrative of survival. While acknowledging the massive scale of the disaster, the text uses archaeological evidence—such as the low number of bodies found and the location of remains—and historical accounts, notably those of Pliny the Younger, to explore how thousands of residents escaped the destruction. The analysis details the two phases of the eruption and investigates the logistics of the escape, noting that factors like wealth, social status, access to transportation (including the Roman navy), and quick action played a significant role in determining who survived. Finally, the episode traces the resettlement of survivors to nearby cities like Neapolis and Nuceria, utilizing epigraphic evidence and modern bioarchaeological studies to reconstruct how they rebuilt their lives in the aftermath.
