Pompeii

Pompeii was once a popular tourest spot in the days of Pax Romana (The Hight of the Roman Empire). The city was grand, with varrious forms of entertainmetn avalable. Some trimors every so often, but the people where use to them, and thus not alarmed. Life was great, luxurious for some. Advertisements in the form a grafettii (not the modern art, but more closely related to that of the Bill Board) could be seen in nearly every street. To many, this marvel would come to represent the hight of Roman life. Little did the people expect that one day, in the year 79 AD the local mountain would erupt in a cloud of volcanic ash, burying the once great city under 25 meters of ash in less then six hours time. When rediscovered, the city still held the forms of it's human occupants.
