R Pompeii, Italy Pompeii is an ancient town of Campania, Italy, near the river Sarnus, almost at the foot of Mount Vesuvius. Its foundation was ascribed by Greek tradition to Heracles, in common with the neighboring city of Herculaneum, but it was not a Greek colony.. It was first occupied by the Oscans, afterwards by the Tyrrhenians CEtruscansi, to whom it probably owes its rectangular ground plan, and Pelasgians and lastly, by the Sammites. Pompeii shared the fate of the neighboring cities, and later passed in common with them under the yoke of Rome. In 79 A.D. the whole city was de- stroyed bythe great eruption of Vesuvius.In 1763, systematic excavations were begun and since 1861, it has been un- covered to the state it is in today., Around this site the new city of Pompeii was born The Basilica. -
