This is Ep 4 of the series "Andiamo in Campania". In this episode, we checked a few food scenes in Naples, before picking up a rental car to drive to Ercolano to visit the archaeological ruins of Herculaneum.
Herculaneum was a seaside town in Roman times, and it was a wealthier, but smaller city than Pompeii. As it was a coastal town and to the west of Mount Vesuvius (Pompeii was to the East), it was spared from the worst of the eruption, as the wind was blowing towards south east. As a result, Herculaneum was buried in ash, wooden houses, clothes and even food were carbonized and preserved.
The roof top of many buildings in Herculaneum is still intact, as the houses were buried by ash. None of those in Pompeii have surviving upper levels. When the volcano first began to erupt, it showered Pompeii with pumice and this obliterated many of the upper level of the buildings.
