Eruption célèbre: Pompéi Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. La destruction de Pompéi résulta de l'ensevelissement de la ville romaine de Pompéi sous les cendres libérées par l'éruption du Vésuve en 79. Lors de cette éruption volcanique de type plinien[1], les villes voisines d'Herculanum, Oplontis et Stabies furent également ensevelies. Cette catastrophe fit probablement plusieurs milliers de victimes[2]. Date de la catastrophe[modifier | modifier le code] Déroulement de l'éruption[modifier | modifier le code] Région concernée par la chute de pierres ponces. Le 24 août 79 ap. À Pompéi, la journée commence normalement. Ce n'est que vers 13 heures, alors que le bouchon de lave qui bloque la cheminée du Vésuve vient de sauter, que la femme de Pline l'Ancien lui fait remarquer un énorme nuage au-dessus de la baie de Naples. József Molnár (1876), un des nombreux tableaux inspirés par la catastrophe au XIXe siècle Ce panache est constitué d'une masse de matériaux volcaniques et de gaz plus légers que l'air.
Pompéi - Inscriptions et graffitis Noctes Gallicanae CIL 4, 9143, Reg 3 ins 04 Salut aux Pompéiens, où qu'ils soient ! Introduction Directeur des fouilles de 1860 à 1875, Giuseppe Fiorelli a imaginé de diviser Pompéi en « arrondissements » ou « régions » (en latin regio), chaque arrondissement se divisant en îlots (insula) délimités par quatre rues, chaque maison (aedes) de l’îlot recevant un numéro ; ainsi la maison des Vettii se trouve dans le VIe arrondissement, îlot 15, numéro 1, ce qui se note en abrégé VI, 15, 1, ou Reg. VI, ins. 15, aed. 1. L’abréviation CIL 4 (ou CIL 4, il faut que je mette de l’ordre dans mes références !) Il est d’usage lorsqu’on recopie une inscription antique de signaler les passages à la ligne par un trait vertical ; je devrais écrire M MariVm | aed faci | oro vos mais je trouve plus esthétique de respecter dans ma typographie les passages à la ligne. M MariVm aed faci oro vos L’abréviation Anth. L’abréviation AE suivie d’un millésime renvoie à la revue l’Année épigraphique. © Alain Canu
Saving the Villa of the Mysteries (Pasquale Sorrentino) The stunning frescoes of the Villa of the Mysteries include one room with a painted frieze widely considered to depict an initiation rite into the cult of Dionysus, the god of wine, pictured at the center of this panel. The moment the Villa of the Mysteries was discovered in spring 1909, it was at risk. For more than a century, there have been many efforts, some successful, some less so, to conserve the villa’s walls, floors, and frescoes. To study the top layers of the frescoed walls without damaging them, conservators take ultrasonic surface measurements in one of the villa’s painted corridors. Built just outside one of Pompeii’s main gates in the first half of the second century B.C., the Villa of the Mysteries covered about 40,000 square feet and had at least 60 rooms. For more than two decades the house was known as the “Villa Item” after Aurelio Item, owner of Pompeii’s Hotel Suisse, and the private excavator who first discovered the villa. Jarrett A.
The Inconvenient Coin: Dating the Destruction of Pompeii and Herculaneum | ROMA INVICTA Or not. Even after visiting the exhibition, many may not realise the long accepted date of the eruption is even in doubt (I saw the topic briefly mentioned a couple of times in item descriptions) let alone that there exists a key piece of evidence that puts the date to bed definitively. Evidence that was sadly (for me, anyway) absent from the exhibition. Firstly, you may ask from where the traditional eruption date of 24th August originates? In a letter [6.16] to Tacitus (written 25 years after the event), our old friend Pliny the Younger describes the eruption that took place on “Nonum Kal September” or “the ninth day before the Kalends of September” i.e. Despite this, scepticism for this summer eruption date has actually been widespread since the first large scale excavations in the 18th Century. On 7th June 1974, during excavations of Pompeii’s “House of the Gold Bracelet”, a selection of 180 silver and 40 gold coins were discovered with the bodies of a group of victims. Like this:
As Pompeii Crumbles...How will it be remembered? Posted on 12. Mar, 2014 by Brittany Britanniae in Roman culture The word Pompeii invokes various imagery and feelings within individuals. From some, it may simply be the name of “some old place” or be the title of their favorite song or movie.

Bruxelles signe un plan d'action avec l'Italie pour sauver Pompéi (Boursier.com) — Pompéi est en danger... Le site romain, enseveli sous les cendres du Vésuve en l'an 79 de l'ère chrétienne, est régulièrement victime d'effondrements, faute d'une restauration suffisante. Le commissaire européen chargé de la politique régionale, Johannes Hahn, se rend vendredi sur ce site archéologique de renommée mondiale, afin de signer un "plan d'action" avec les autorités italiennes. Le grand projet concernant Pompéi a été approuvé en mars 2012 par la Commission européenne. Dernier incident en date à Pompéi, la partie supérieure d'une colonne et un pan de mur se sont effondrés fin juin, en raison de fortes pluies. À l'heure actuelle, trois projets sur le site ont été achevés, et notamment la Casa del Criptoportico et la Casa delle Pareti Rosse. Claire Lemaitre — ©2014, Boursier.com
