Explore the remarkably well‑preserved Roman town of Herculaneum, often overshadowed by Pompeii, yet offering a more intimate and profound understanding of ancient life. Twelve hours after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, a pyroclastic flow at 400 degrees Celsius engulfed Herculaneum, freezing it in time and preserving clothing, mosaics, frescoes, and furniture in near‑perfect condition.
