The excavations of Ercolano are less famous than the ones of Pompeii but they actually complete them. The excavations of the two ancient Roman towns show two contemporary realities but they also show their differences. This is why it is interesting having a visit to both places. Pompeii has been almost completely unearthed and it is possible to understand how a town during the reign ofexcavations of ErcolanoTiberius lived. The ancient Ercolano, instead, has not been completely unearthed because on its territory there is the modern town, so many ancient important buildings are missing. But many details are better preserved. Ercolano was covered by a hot “cloud” whose temperature was higher than 100°. This cloud brought also liquefied fragments of rocks.

This is why objects were so well preserved. For example, there is a “grocery” shop that still preserves the shelves with the amphorae (they were the most common containers of the period). excavations of ErcolanoIn the so-called ‘Villa dei Papiri’ a library was found.

Visiting these excavations means having the possibility to know a lot about our past and to feel special sensations thanks to the objects, houses, and so on, that are so well preserved.
