Discovering Pompeii: the liveliest of the dead cities

Pompeii: the liveliest of the dead cities

Everyone knows the history of Pompeii and by now we know everything about ancient Pompeii. That's the reason I want to start with what we don't know about Pompeii Few people know Pompeii was one of the most populous and richest Italian cities in the Roman Empire Few people know that its main economic activity was the cultivation and export of wine and olive oil to all Mediterranean countries Few people know that thanks to a river channel that lapped the city walls, boats from Greece to Spain, from Egypt to Turkey, could arrive directly at Porta Marina, the main city gate, which as the name implies, it looked directly at the sea Few people know that 2000 years ago my city was much closer to the Mediterranean Sea than today: the tremendous eruption of 79 BC. has "set back" the sea by about 800meters. What I want to offer you is to make you "live" my city with the eyes of a sailor who, after months of traveling on the waves, arrives in this opulent, rich and hospitable city.
