You can now “walk” down an ancient Pompeian street with Google Street View. Pompeii, near the modern city of Naples, is an ancient Roman city which was buried by pumice and ash by a volcanic eruption of nearby Mount Vesuvius in 79 C.E. and remained buried for almost 1700 years until its rediscovery in 1748.
Pompeii is an excellent example of Roman life in the early Empire, frozen in time.
