After a long sleep, Vesuvius woke up on October 24, 79 AD. This eruption
was apocalyptic since it destroyed the ancient Roman cities of Pompeii
and Herculaneum. Herculaneum was discovered in the 18th century
and became one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world.
Nowadays, Herculaneum boasts several landmarks such as the house
with the mosaic Atrium, the house of the Deer, the Thermal spas of
the Forum, the house of the mosaic of Neptune and Amphitrite, which
