Why Pompeii Was Not Evacuated Before Mount Vesuvius Erupted in 79 AD

This video explains why Pompeii was not evacuated before the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD and how institutional silence turned early warnings into missed time. Seventeen years earlier in 62 AD a major earthquake damaged Pompeii. After rebuilding the city became used to tremors that seemed harmless. In the days before the eruption people felt repeated shaking and strange signals but officials issued no clear evacuation order and no organized escape routes were prepared. Normal life continued until ash began to fall and panic replaced information. We break down what the sources suggest including Pliny the Younger’s observations from across the Bay of Naples and what archaeology reveals about who tried to flee who stayed and how the lack of preparation shaped the final hours. This is not only a story about a volcano. It is a story about how cities normalize danger until the moment normalcy collapses. Pompeii eruption explained. Mount Vesuvius 79 AD. Pompeii evacuation.
