Mount Vesuvius

Queen. (Which is perhaps another reason Disney felt the plot needed to be reinvented.) Actually, when Gerda arrives at the palace, the Snow Queen is nowhere to be found. She has flown south to Italy, where she plans to shower snow down upon Mount Vesuvius and Mount Etna. Kai and Gerda “strolled out of that enormous palace,” and at the story’s end (a few paragraphs later) they are safely back at home in…

in brown to that of fingernails and claws might have inspired the name. Pliny the Elder wrote about the different types of onyx and techniques for altering it in Naturalis Historia, which he was still working on when he died in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Roman soldiers would carry sardonyx carved with an image of the god Mars into battle to bring themselves…

assortment of thin crust pizzas, a modest selection of pastas, and a variety of fire-bread sandwiches. Their dishes are all centered around the unique Campania tomato, a special tomato that grows in the volcanic soil at the base of the infamous Mount Vesuvius. The volcanic soil gives the tomatoes interesting properties, such as a deeper hue of red, a firmer and less acidic pulp, softer skin, and a sweet flavour that lingers on the tongue. To close your meal, the restaurant also offers a variety…

Early Imperial Period, by Domitian’s supposed favorite architect Rabirius, who is also credited to have built the Colosseum. The major accomplishments of Titus include the construction of the Colosseum, rebuilding post the 79 C.E. eruption of Mount Vesuvius and 80 C.E. fire in Rome. He is also victorious in the Siege of Jerusalem (First Jewish-Roman War) in the year 70 C.E., in which 1.1 million mostly Jewish…

Lava wasn’t always called “lava” it wasn’t till 1737 after the Mount Vesuvius eruption that it got its name. Reason being that it got its name is because it oozes from the sides of the volcano which in Latin its root word means to fall or ooze. There is a difference between magma and its close brother lava. Magma is liquid…

We were never able to trade or purchase items from the market without being run out. It was not until one day a few of our members, including my father, in 79 A.D used their titans to cause a volcanic eruption in Mount Vesuvius. This was the scariest moment in my life because even when I was five my father made me tag along. The lava flow destroyed and turned everything including people into stone figures. Their plan was out of pure anger and ill-advised because our…

saw many cold summers accompanied by failed harvests, while the summer of 1707 was so hot that people died from heat exhaustion. Another contribution to the extreme weather were the volcanic eruptions during the years of 1707 and 1708, which were Mount Fuji in…

took the throne. He began the Flavian Dynasty. Most notably, this dynasty is known for their immense building projects. One of his most well known projects is the Amphitheater, or the famous Coliseum of Rome. During that dynasty, the eruption of Mount Vesuvius buried the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Titus, Vespasian’s son, was emperor at the time. He was commended for the way he handled this disaster, as well as the great fire of Rome. After Titus, his brother Domitian took over. Domitian…

The Roman Empire lasted for a very long time. It was the most “extensive political and social structure in western civilization” (Mark). The Roman Empire was at its height in c. 117CE and by 285 CE it had grown too large to be ruled by a central government. This is when it was divided into a Western and Eastern Empire. There were many rulers and many dynasties during this time. The Roman Empire influenced much of western civilization and left many and lasting contributions to western…

art. One such location that particularly benefitted from this spread of ideas was the Villas of Oplontis. This collection of two villas near Pompeii served as a preserved utopia of Roman and Greek art that was protected due to the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. One such individual that was frequently found in these villas was the Greek goddess, Aphrodite. This goddess of beauty served as a…
