Prologue:

The Signs of an Eruption

Several days before Mount Vesuvius erupted,

tremors shook the town of Pompeii. Doors

creaked, glasses shook, and hanging light

xtures swung back and forth. Springs and

wells in the area dried up . It appears that

many Pompeians ignored these signs because

they had experienced them before.

Unknown Dangers

Long ago, in a bustling village near the Bay of Naples

in Italy , tragedy struck. Mount Vesuvius , a volcano on the

edge of Pompeii, had been dormant for about years,

slowly building pressure. The people of Pompeii could not

have anticipated that the volcano would erupt on August

, But when the earth shook and ash rained from the

sky, the city was doomed. This is a story of how a resident

of Pompeii a ctional barber may have experienced the

explosion of Mount Vesuvius.

Morning Calm

8:00 a.m.

The creaking door wakes you again this morning.

Didnt you x the door frame yesterday? Lets face it:

being a barber doesnt necessarily make you a very good

carpenter. Youve got to get up anyway and make your

way down to the forum early, so you can set up shop in a

good location. Lately, Pompeians havent been stopping

by for shaves, much less haircuts. That old barber,

Flavius, has been landing the ideal location under the

colonnade , but you have to beat him to that spot today.

Your rent is due soon, and you need to make money to

keep living in your tiny apartment.

There are about 20,000 people living here in Pompeii,

and it feels as if they all reside on your street. The noise

of children crying and the stench of rotting food dumped

out in the streets make this living arrangement miserable

(especially now, in the heat of August). The only thing

worse than this would be living above the bathhouse .

Having to listen to men splashing water around and

singing at the tops of their lungs would drive anyone mad.

8:30 a.m.

Do Animals Have a

Sixth Sense?

On the day of the eruption in Pompeii,

animals might have behaved strangely.

Theres no proof that animals can

sense things before they happen. But

scientists think that animals can hear

infrasonic sounds, such as the rumbling

of the earth before an earthquake. So,

they would react by eeing.

You better be careful where you walk in the

cobblestone streets. The garbage is everywhere, and

theres no chance of rain to wash it all away. What you

wouldnt give to have some sewers around this place!

Your neighbors bird is making odd chirping noises and

trying to get out of its cage very strange behavior for

such a content bird.

You know youre out of wine, sh, eggs, and bread,

so you better stop by the tavern on your way to the

forum and get something to eat. The Vulcan holiday

celebrated yesterday has ended, and things can get back

to business as usual.

Ah, theres good old Modestus at his bakery, stacking

Vulcan Holiday

The day before Mount

Vesuvius erupted, the

city celebrated a holiday to

honor the Roman god of re,

Vulcan. The god is named

after vulcanus .

those fresh loaves of sweet-smelling bread. He must have

arrived at work early this morning to have that many

loaves ready for the crowds.

Youre a little surprised to see the bronzesmiths shop
