A study published in Frontiers in Earth Science provides new evidence that seismic activity, alongside the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, significantly contributed to the devastation of Pompeii.
Experts now recognize that not only volcanic eruptions but also a series of destructive earthquakes led to the tragic fate of the city's residents during 79 AD.
This research marks a turning point in understanding Pompeii's destruction, highlighting how earthquakes acted as a catastrophic force during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
The case of two Pompeiians who escaped the initial eruption, only to die from collapsing structures during subsequent earthquakes, exemplifies the dual threats faced by the people.
