This Zoom course will be recorded. In the year 79 CE, a brutal volcano erupted on the coast of Italy which destroyed several neighboring cities. Mt. Vesuvius’ fiery eruption inadvertently created time capsules of these affluent areas, the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, allowing future archaeologists to learn first-hand about daily lives. Travel back in time and experience the eruption’s 48- hour timeline, and spot differences among the coastal cities and the volcano’s catastrophic effects on them.
