Herculaneum, ancient Roman city

This image offers a striking view of Herculaneum, an ancient Roman city buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Unlike Pompeii, Herculaneum was overwhelmed by a violent pyroclastic surge, which ensured the extraordinary preservation of its buildings, including wooden elements and organic materials that rarely survive elsewhere. Among its most fascinating sites is the House of Neptune and Amphitrite, renowned for its exquisite mosaics and frescoes.
