                                Mount Vesuvius 

                                                    Mount Vesuvius is a stratovolcano which is in the gulf of naples, italy, which is about 5.6 mi (9 Km) east of naples and a short distance from the shore. It is one of several volcanoes which form the Campanian Volcanic arc. The versuvius consist of a large cone partially encircled by the steep rim of a summit caldera caused by the collapse of an earlier and orginally much higher structure. In AD 79 the Mount Vesuvius is best known for its eruption which has led to the burying and destruction of the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. During that eruption ejected a cloud of stones, ash and fumes to a height of 20.5 mi (33 km), spewing molten rock  and pulverized pumice at the rate of 1.5 million tons per second, ultimately a hundred thousand times the thermal energy released by the Hiroshima bombing. But during this eruption an estimated 16,000 peoples died due to the hydrothermal pyroclastic flows. The Mount Vesuvius has erupted many times since and is the only volcano on the European mainland to have erupted within the last Hundred years. Now it is regarded as one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world because of the 3,000,000 peoples living nearby and it has the tendency toward explosive eruptions. Mount Vesuvius is the most densely populated volcanic region in the world. The Vesuvius has a long historic and literary tradition. During 79 AD it was considered a divinity of the Genius type at the times of the eruption of 79 AD : it appears under the inscribed name Vesuvius as a serpent in the decorative frescos of many lararia, or household shrines, surviving from Pompeii. The historian Diodorus Siculus relates a tradition that Hercules( Hercules is the roman name for the greek divine hero Heracles, who was the son of zeus and the mortal Alcmene. According to the classical mythology, Hercules is famous for his strength and for his numerous far-ranging adventures ), in the performance of his labors, passed through the country of nearby cumae on his way to sicily and he found a place there called “the phlegraean Plain”,” form a hill which anciently vomited out fire called Vesuvius”. It was inhabited by bandits,” the son of the Earth,” who were giants. An epigram by the poet Martial in 88 AD suggests that both Venus, patroness of Pompeii, and Hercules were worshipped in the region devastated by the eruption of 79. The Vesuvius was a name of the volcano in frequent use by the authors of the late Romam Republic and the early Roman Empire. Its collateral forms were Vesaevus, Vesevus, Vesbius and Vesvius. Many scholars since then have offered an etymology. As peoples of varying ethnicity and language occupied Campania in the Roman iron Age, the etymology depends to a large degree on the presumption of what languages was spoken there at the time. The Naples was settled by Greeks, as the name Nea-polis. The Oscans, a native Italic people, lived in the countryside. The Latins also competed for the occupation of Campania Etruscan settlement were in the vicinity. Other peoples of unknown provenance are said to have been there at some times by the various ancient authors.
