Moreover, geographically quite close to Pompei Napoli and Capri Islands, two cities along the coast, which is always covered the sun and the warm air throughout the year.

The beauty of the city is also supported by the existence of Mount Vesuvius that soar up to 1281 meters above sea level. Local tourist who came from various corners of the city in Italy also did not lose much, because in the summer they prefer a vacation to the beach. With air temperatures reaching 40 degrees Celsius at that time, people want to crowd berbondong-berendam in the sea or discolor the skin under the blazing sun.

Before buried for thousands of years due to explosion of Mount Vesuvius, Pompei is a city destination that tune and the noble Roman conglomerates, especially on each summer. Pompei also a city in a safe harbor for the Greek sea and Tunisia. Mixture of culture among nations and Etruska elements of Greek culture of the nation to make the city thrive, especially after the city became the nation's Roman colony in 80 BC.

During the government Oktavianus Emperor Augustus (27 BC-14 BC), the Pompei of development infrastruktural massive. Various magnificent building was built as amfiteater, pallaestra (the stadium where the different types of sporting events) with a swimming pool area, the reservoir water to drain more than 25 pond water fountains, at least four public bathing places, office buildings, and homes time.

In addition to majestic buildings, the city also has a house brothel, tavern, and nightclubs where the residents spend the time to have fun and make prostitution transaction. In fact, it seems, semblant genitals in original size swing in front of the houses brothel is.

Pompei was at the time of the famous with the freedom of the people in matters related to sexual activity. Therefore, when Mount Vesuvius erupt, many people are trapped in the agency relationship in the city and died instantly. During thousands of years, bodies are buried material eruption of Mount Vesuvius and harden.

In fact, people are used to Pompei the earthquake - in a much smaller scale of the region Campania region of southern Italy that includes Napoli and its surroundings, including the city of Pompei. However, had also recorded great earthquake strength 7.5 Richter at 5 years old in February 62 BC. Gempat this cause damage severe enough on the roads, temples, bridges, houses and population.

After Mount Vesuvius erupt on 24 August year 79 BC, the city of Pompei buried volcanic dust and smoke during the year 1700, and new found accidentally in the year 1748 BC. In fact the mountain erupt when that happens, the city of Pompei is not fully repaired the earthquake. Due to eruption of the mountain, 20 thousand people have died in the city immediately.

Exploration of the city is done start up the command of King Charles III of Napoli Bourbon. Up to now, the area that has been successfully dug the area is 66 hectares. Pompei has become one of the history of the world heritage site treated by UNESCO. And that makes you wonder akan merrasab is, once buried for thousands of years, various buildings and a hidden relic in it are still intact.

Including the residents who died and harden due to dust, lava, and hot air. Evidence, we (including me) at this time can see that in fact the area was once there is a city inhabited by a nation with a Roman palace, the houses and temples are still well maintained.

Perhaps, this is due to dust and rocks out of the crater of Mount Vesuvius and bury meetings Pompei city does not cause the incoming air so that it does not have the humidity that can cause the decomposition process. However, after this site and found her to be announced to the general public, there have been events erosion, excavation, reconstruction, and vandalism. In addition, the incoming air and climate change have made some of the old city part of it becomes damaged.

Until now, there is still digging and research activities of the oxygen-oxygen mineral resources from the rocks or land used by the archeologists deposition assisted local students. The reason is because not all parts of the old city Pompei tersingkap, and many historical questions that have not been missed. (rn)
