#Herculaneum is a small town located at the foot of Vesuvius, not far from the sea and from the Greek colony of Neapolis.
According to legend, the city was founded by Heracles. It is believed that the first settlement at this place arose at the end of the 6th century BC.
In the 1st century BC the city came under the control of Rome.
The tragedy occurred on August 24, 79, when #Vesuvius began to erupt.
Unlike Pompeii, Herculaneum was destroyed by the pyroclastic flows that completely covered it.
Herculaneum, along with Pompeii, is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Recorded in October 2018.
