Pompeii was a Roman city that was preserved by volcanic ash after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Excavations of the city have revealed numerous artifacts such as pottery, statues, and household items, which provide insight into the daily life of the Romans who lived there. There is no evidence of Etruscan settlements or republican Senate building, and Constantine's reign came much later in history.
