Vesuvius

also called Vesēvus, Vesbius, and Vesvius (τὸ Βέσβιον ὄρος). A volcanic mountain in Campania, rising out of the plain southeast of Neapolis (Naples). There are no records of any eruption of Vesuvius before the Christian era, but the ancient writers were aware of its volcanic nature from the igneous appearance of its rocks. In A.D. 63 the volcano gave the first symptoms of agitation in an earthquake, which occasioned considerable damage to several towns in its vicinity; and on the 24th of August, A.D. 79, occurred the first great eruption of Vesuvius, which overwhelmed the cities of Stabiae, Herculaneum, and Pompeii. It was in this eruption that the elder Pliny lost his life. See Herculaneum; Pompeii.
