This episode is about the 79 CE eruption of Mount Vesuvius which buried and preserved the Roman city of Pompeii as an example of a real world apocalyptic event. We go over the mechanics of what happened, relying on the account of Pliny the Younger. We also discuss what the most recent science has to say about the events as they unfolded before pivoting to a brief discussion of Paul W.S. Anderson's 2014 film, Pompeii, comparing it to a more successful disaster film, James Cameron's Titanic. Also, you get to hear both hosts discuss their experiences of visiting Pompeii, and the profound impact seeing the site in person has have on one's appreciation for the ancient world.
This episode contains spoilers for Pompeii (the place), Pompeii (the film), and Titanic.
