VESUVIUS

Aurora, Goddess of the Dawn, namesake of the main character, Aurea.

Mount Vesuvius and the ruins of Pompeii, a city that was buried under ten feet of ash.

This map shows the fallout from the eruption, which killed the scholar Pliny in Stabiae.

This wall painting from a house in Pompeii depicts the young couple who lived there.

The eruption of Mount Vesuvius looked much like this aerial view of the 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption.
