We are in Pompei Italy.
An ancient city of southern Italy southeast of Naples. Founded in
the sixth or early fifth century B.C., it was a Roman colony by 80
B.C. and became a prosperous port and resort with many noted villas,
temples, theaters, and baths. Pompeii was destroyed by an eruption
of Mount Vesuvius in A.D. 79. The incredibly well-preserved ruins
were rediscovered in 1748 and have been extensively excavated.
