Herculaneum, Italy Walking Tour in 4K
****You can click on the time links below to skip ahead.****On August 24th, 79 AD, Mt. Vesuvius erupted for the first time in centuries. Herculaneum, just 3 miles away from the base of Mt. Vesuvius was spared from initial destruction as the wind carried most of the ash and pumice on to Pompeii. On the following night, the plume of ash above Mt. Vesuvius collapsed causing massive pyroclastic flows that buried both Pompeii and Herculaneum. While most of Pompeii has been excavated. It is estimated that only 25% of Herculaneum has been excavated. The rest lies under the current city of Ercolano.

Investigating How Mt. Vesuvius's Victims Died
The Herculaneum victims were thought to have died from volcanic gas asphyxiation. But a closer look at their skeletons suggests the gas may have killed them in a different way.

Places to see in ( Ercolano - Italy ) Ruins of Herculaneum
Located in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius, Herculaneum was an ancient Roman town destroyed by volcanic pyroclastic flows in 79 AD. Its ruins are located in the comune of Ercolano, Campania, Italy. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is famous as one of the few ancient cities that can now be seen in much of its original splendour, as well as for having been lost, along with Pompeii, Stabiae, Oplontis and Boscoreale, in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79 that buried it. Unlike Pompeii, the deep pyroclastic material which covered it preserved wooden and other organic-based objects such as roofs, beds, doors, food and even some 300 skeletons which were discovered in recent years along the seashore. It had been thought until then that the town had been evacuated by the inhabitants.
Herculaneum was a wealthier town than Pompeii, possessing an extraordinary density of fine houses with, for example, far more lavish use of coloured marble cladding. Ancient tradition connected Herculaneum with the name of the Greek hero Heracles (Hercules in Latin and consequently Roman Mythology), an indication that the city was of Greek origin. In fact, it seems that some forefathers of the Samnite tribes of the Italian mainland founded the first civilization on the site of Herculaneum at the end of the 6th century BC. Soon after, the town came under Greek control and was used as a trading post because of its proximity to the Gulf of Naples.
The buildings at the site are grouped in blocks (insulae), defined by the intersection of the east-west (cardi) and north-south (decumani) streets. Hence we have Insula II – Insula VII running counterclockwise from Insula II. To the east are two additional blocks: Orientalis I (oI) and Orientalis II (oII). To the south of Orientalis I (oI) lies one additional group of buildings known as the Suburban District (SD). Individual buildings having their own entrance number. For example, the House of the Deer is labelled (Ins IV, 3).
The volcanic water, ash and debris covering Herculaneum, along with the extreme heat, left it in a remarkable state of preservation for over 1600 years. However, once excavations began, exposure to the elements began the slow process of deterioration. This was not helped by the methods of archaeology used earlier in the town's excavation, which generally centered around recovering valuable artifacts rather than ensuring the survival of all artifacts. In the early 1980s and under the direction of Dr. Sara C. Bisel, preservation of the skeletal remains became a high priority. The carbonised remains of organic materials, when exposed to the air, deteriorated over a matter of days, and destroyed many of the remains until a way of preserving them was formed.

Come with me to Herculaneum. See how the Romans lived and died in the last lost day of the Pompei and Herculaneum when Vesuvius erupted.
Herculaneum Ruins: Better than Pompeii?
Herculaneum is the wealthier, smaller sister city to Pompeii. Its houses are bigger, mosaics are cooler, and the ruins are more intact. Explore Herculaneum with us to see everything in this beautiful seaside town, including some 2000-year-old wooden beams!
If you'd like to see our experience in Pompeii, watch this video:
Herculaneum is much smaller than Pompeii, and it's laid out on a grid with only seven blocks to explore, so it's easy to see everything. You can walk the entire length of the city in just a few minutes, but each block is packed with amazing houses and structures to explore, so you can see it all quickly or take your time wandering and looking at every little detail.
Herculaneum is also closer to Naples than Pompeii, making it a better choice for a quick day-trip if you want to see ruins but also want to spend time exploring Naples or eating pizza (see our video about the best pizza in Naples here:
We visited too many ruins to include them all in this list, but here are timestamps for some of the major highlights in Herculaneum:
0:28 - Casa del Salone Nero (House of the Black Hall)
1:01 - Sede degli Augustali (College of the Augustales) - with 2000-yr old wooden beams!!
1:45 - Herculaneum history: Mount Vesuvius eruption and how it was different from Pompeii
3:05 - Casa dei Cervi (House of the Deer) - with the drunken Hercules statue
3:50 - Casa del Bel Cortile (House of Beautiful Courtyard)
4:13 - Casa di Nettuno e Anfitrite (House of Neptune and Amphitrite)

HERCULANEUM (source Wikipedia):
Located in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius, Herculaneum (Italian: Ercolano) was an ancient Roman town destroyed by volcanic pyroclastic flows in 79 AD. Its ruins are located in the comune of Ercolano, Campania, Italy.
As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is famous as one of the few ancient cities that can now be seen in much of its original splendour, as well as for having been lost, along with Pompeii, Stabiae, Oplontis and Boscoreale, in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79 that buried it. Unlike Pompeii, the deep pyroclastic material which covered it preserved wooden and other organic-based objects such as roofs, beds, doors, food and even some 300 skeletons which were discovered in recent years along the seashore. It had been thought until then that the town had been evacuated by the inhabitants.
Herculaneum was a wealthier town than Pompeii, possessing an extraordinary density of fine houses with, for example, far more lavish use of coloured marble cladding.
The catastrophic eruption of Mt. Vesuvius occurred on the afternoon of 24 August AD 79. Because Vesuvius had been dormant for approximately 800 years, it was no longer even recognized as a volcano. Based on archaeological excavations and on two letters of Pliny the Younger to the Roman historian Tacitus, the course of the eruption can be reconstructed.
At around 1pm on 24 August, Vesuvius began spewing volcanic ash and stone thousands of meters into the sky. When it reached the tropopause (the boundary between the troposphere and the stratosphere), the top of the cloud flattened, prompting Pliny to describe it to Tacitus as a Stone Pine tree. The prevailing winds at the time blew toward the southeast, causing the volcanic material to fall primarily on the city of Pompeii and the surrounding area. Since Herculaneum lay to the west of Vesuvius, it was only mildly affected by the first phase of the eruption. While roofs in Pompeii collapsed under the weight of falling debris, only a few centimetres of ash fell on Herculaneum, causing little damage but nonetheless prompting most inhabitants to flee.
During the following night, the eruptive column which had risen into the stratosphere collapsed onto Vesuvius and its flanks. The first pyroclastic surge, formed by a mixture of ash and hot gases, billowed through the mostly evacuated town of Herculaneum at 160 km/h (100 mph). A succession of six flows and surges buried the city's buildings, causing little damage in some areas and preserving structures, objects and victims almost intact. However, in other areas there was significant damage, knocking down walls, tearing away columns and other large objects; a marble statue of M. Nonius Balbus near the baths was blown 15 m away and a carbonised skeleton was found lifted 2.5 m above ground level in the garden of the House of the Telephus Relief.
Recent multidisciplinary research on the lethal effects of the pyroclastic surges in the Vesuvius area showed that in the vicinity of Pompeii and Herculaneum, heat was the main cause of the death of people who had previously been thought to have died by ash suffocation.
HERCULANEUM, NAPLES (ITALY) - ERCOLANO - OCTOBER 2015
Ancient tradition connected Herculaneum with the name of the Greek hero Heracles (Hercules in Latin and consequently Roman Mythology), an indication that the city was of Greek origin.
After the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, the town of Herculaneum was buried under approximately 20 metres (50–60 feet) of ash.The catastrophic eruption of Mt. Vesuvius occurred on the afternoon of 24 August AD 79. In 1709 the digging of a deep well revealed some exceptional statues at the lowest levels which was later found to be the site of the theatre. The Prince d'Elbeuf purchased the land and proceeded to tunnel out from the bottom of the well, collecting any statues they could find. Among the earliest statues recovered were the two superbly sculpted Herculaneum Women, now in the Dresden. Major excavation was resumed in 1738 by Spanish engineer Rocque Joaquin de Alcubierre. However, excavation ceased once the nearby town of Pompeii was discovered, which was significantly easier to excavate because of the thinner layer of debris covering the site (4 m as opposed to Herculaneum's 20 m). From 1927 until 1942 a new campaign of excavations was begun by Amedeo Maiuri, which exposed about four hectares of the ancient city in the archaeological park that is visible today.
Excavation resumed briefly in the town in 1980–81 on the ancient shoreline following which the skeletons in the boathouses were found.
From 1996–99 the large area to the north-west of the site was excavated and exposed, including part of the Villa of the Papyri, the north-west baths, the House of the Dionysian Reliefs and a large collapsed monument. This area was left in a chaotic state and from 2000–7 further work on conservation of this area was done.
Many public and private buildings, including the forum complex, are yet to be excavated. A large number of artifacts from Herculaneum are preserved in the Naples National Archaeological Museum.

Mount Vesuvius and Herculaneum Day Trip in Naples, Italy Travel Guide Video Transcript:
The journey from Pompeii to Herculaneum is a scenic one with Mount Vesuvius to one side and the Bay of Naples to the other. It only took us 20 minutes to get there by train, so if you’re looking for a day trip, it doesn’t get much easier than this one. Just maybe don’t get off in the outskirts of town like we did, but more on that later.
Vesuvio's Express is a shuttle service that runs to the top of the volcano, so if you’re expecting a guided tour filled with lots of interesting facts, this isn’t it.
That being said, we were perfectly happy to tour the site on our own, and we couldn’t beat the price at 20 Euros per person.
The only problem we encountered was that the roads were completely iced over the further we went up the mountain, and at one point the bus just had to give up and let all the passengers off to go the rest of the way on foot.
Things got a little easier once we swapped icy paved roads for a dirt trail, though we also had snow to contend with, but we eventually reached the top. I would say one of the coolest things about hiking up to Mount Vesuvius was being able to see that it’s a volcano within a volcano, and while there was no bubbling lava visible to the eye, we could see steam rising from several vents.
Our next stop after lunch were the ruins of Herculaneum, an ancient Roman town that was destroyed by Mount Vesuvius. While Pompeii was covered in ash, Herculaneum was hit by the pyroclastic flow that followed the explosion of 79 AD, which also led to its preservation.
What at first glance appears to be a moat, is Herculaneum’s ancient shoreline. Here we were met with the aftermath of the explosion: a row of old boat houses, each of them filled with the skeleton remains of those who did not escape during the first day of the eruption.
This is part of our Travel in Italy video series showcasing Italian food, Italian culture and Italian cuisine.

Herculaneum and the skeletons
The skeletons from the boathouses in Herculaneum: they died in seconds in the hot gases of a pyroclastic flow. Bone and hair provided anthropologists with accurate information on sex, age and nutrition of people, about their illnesses and their social status. Last but not least the bones retrieved the mystery about the death of people of Herculaneum. More than 300 skeletons were found in the burried city.
Herculaneum, 3-hour tour of the Roman town destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius
Ercolano (Herculaneum) was a wealthy town of the Roman Empire. The volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius destroyed the whole city in 79AD (the same eruption that destroyed Pompeii), but the pyroclastic materials preserved organic-based objects, such as wooden doors, roofs, food, and even about 300 skeletons, found in the recent years, close to the shore. Houses and buildings were more colored and lavish than those found in Pompeii as Herculaneum was a wealthier holiday town.
Nowadays, we can only see 1/4 of the old town as the rest is still underneath the urban stratification created by newer buildings. Ercolano used to be right on the Mediterranean Sea, while today it is located 400 meters away. Herculaneum is much smaller than Pompeii but better preserved.
Herculaneum, Italy in 4K (UHD) HDR
#Herculaneum is a small town located at the foot of Vesuvius, not far from the sea and from the Greek colony of Neapolis.
According to legend, the city was founded by Heracles. It is believed that the first settlement at this place arose at the end of the 6th century BC.
In the 1st century BC the city came under the control of Rome.
The tragedy occurred on August 24, 79, when #Vesuvius began to erupt.
Unlike Pompeii, Herculaneum was destroyed by the pyroclastic flows that completely covered it.
Herculaneum, along with Pompeii, is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Colors of Ancient Europe - Roman city of Herculaneum (Villa of the Papyri)
Located in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius, Herculaneum (Italian: Ercolano) was an ancient Roman town destroyed by volcanic pyroclastic flows in 79 AD. Its ruins are located in the comune of Ercolano, Campania, Italy.
As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is famous as one of the few ancient cities that can now be seen in much of its original splendour, as well as for having been lost, along with Pompeii, Stabiae, Oplontis and Boscoreale, in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79 that buried it. Unlike Pompeii, the deep pyroclastic material which covered it preserved wooden and other organic-based objects such as roofs, beds, doors, food and even some 300 skeletons which were discovered in recent years along the seashore. It had been thought until then that the town had been evacuated by the inhabitants.
Herculaneum was a wealthier town than Pompeii, possessing an extraordinary density of fine houses with, for example, far more lavish use of coloured marble cladding.
The Villa of the Papyri (Italian: Villa dei Papiri, also known as Villa dei Pisoni), is named after its unique library of papyri (or scrolls), but is also one of the most luxurious houses in all of Herculaneum and in the Roman world. Its luxury is shown by its exquisite architecture and by the very large number of outstanding works of art discovered, including frescoes, bronzes and marble sculpture which constitute the largest collection of Greek and Roman sculptures ever discovered in a single context.
It is located in the current commune of Ercolano, southern Italy. It was situated on the ancient coastline below the volcano Vesuvius with nothing to obstruct the view of the sea. It was perhaps owned by Julius Caesar's father-in-law, Lucius Calpurnius Piso Caesoninus.

Lyrics:
Waiting on the house of the skeleton
the sky falls black in the day's final hours
hope and prayer, they go hand-in-hand
until the ashes flood across our land
chorus:
run to the river, run to the sea
huddle under the arches
hold on to me
watch the boats as they slip out to sea
so many souls left among the reeds
oh my child, what have we done
the mountain has blotted out the sun
chorus
may they find us, one day by the sea
where the ashes lay heavy on our graves
may they find us with my arms around you
our love stronger than a sky turned red from blue
chorus
EDUCE: Imaging the Herculaneum Scrolls
The eruption of Mt. Vesuvius covered the city of Herculaneum in twenty meters of lava, simultaneously destroying the Herculaneum scrolls through carbonization and preserving the scrolls by protecting them from the elements. Unwrapping the scrolls would damage them, but researchers are anxious to read the texts. Researchers from the University of Kentucky collaborated with the Institut de France and SkyScan to digitally unwrap and preserve the scrolls. To learn more about the EDUCE project, go to
