Pompeii
Ancient Rome was a very powerful empire that was always looking to expand their territory. They happened to expand their territory to a city called Pompeii. Pompeii was a small town with a big story. Pompeii was destroyed by a devastating volcanic eruption and many people died. Also, some rocks were found from the site of the explosion. Pompeii was a coastal Roman city in campania, a region in southwestern Italy. Many groups of people such as the Oscans, the Etruscans, and the Samnites lived there for short periods of time before they were conquered and another group would gain control. Eventually, Rome gained control of all of Pompeii.
