Archaeologists over many years have conducted "digs" near all of the areas that ancient Rome occupied during its span as a civilization. Because of this they have recovered remains of Roman cities, their construction projects, ancient tablets and other "underground" artifacts such as vases & statues that were buried over the long span of Rome. In the case of the city of Pompeii, the volcano's lava and ashes preserved remarkable ruins of that city that showed Roman culture, homes, monuments, and other artifacts that gave them an excellent idea about Roman life. Pompeii's ruins could be called a "city frozen in time" by the lava of Mt. Vesuvius.

Why have ruins of Pompeii been so well preserved?
The Roman city of Pompeii was situated on the western coast of the Italian peninsula, south of Rome. It was a prosperous city in the Roman empire. In 79 AD CE, Pompeii was the victim of an eruption of the nearby volcano of Mt. Vesuvius. The lava and ashes of this volcano destroyed the people of Pompeii but not the structures and art of the city. These same ashes and solidified lava preserved much of this city and smaller nearby ones. This preservation has given archaeologists a very clear picture of what life was like in this city.
