Conclusion

In conclusion, Pompeii was a thriving city that was brought down unexpectedly by unfortunate circumstances. Looking at the development within this society whether it be the baths or the forum, it is clear to see that their systems were clear, precise and effective. Without the use of modern technology, these people were able to thrive, making their story that much more intriguing.

The smokey air would have caused concern for many, however no one would have been able to predict their fate that day. The eruption of Vesuvius in AD79 left a once lively and functioning town a city of death.

It would have been interesting to see how this society would have moved forward had it not been for such horrific circumstances leading to the unfortunate death of hundreds of people. This may be something important to think about.
