The archaeological excavations of Pompeii have returned the remains of the ancient city of Pompeii, on the hill of Civita, at the gates of modern Pompeii, buried under a blanket of ashes and lapilli during the eruption of Vesuvius in 79. The findings following the excavations are one of the best testimonies of Roman life, as well as the best preserved city of that era. Most of the recovered finds are kept in the National Archaeological Museum of Naples and in the Antiquarium of Pompeii.
