@ai.historychannel: Ancient Pompeii, a thriving Roman town near the Bay of Naples, was known for its vibrant community and strategic location. Founded by the Oscans around the 7th century BC, Pompeii later came under Greek, Etruscan, and finally Roman influence. By the 1st century BC, it was a bustling center with elegant villas, temples, bathhouses, theaters, and busy marketplaces. The town’s economy relied on trade, agriculture, and wine production, thanks to its fertile volcanic soil. Pompeii’s streets were lively with shops, bakeries, and taverns frequented by residents and travelers alike. Tragically, in 79 AD, Mount Vesuvius erupted, burying the town and preserving its daily life under layers of ash, providing future generations with an exceptional window into Roman life.
