Paper Summary:

A general timeline of the city of Pompeii showing what Pompeii was famous for and the technological advancements developed by its citizens. The writer states that Pompeii was an ancient cosmopolitan city during the zenith of the Roman Empire that was living on borrowed time.

From the Paper:

"Modern day Pompeii is a town located in Western Italy near the city of Naples. It is currently an uninhabited city that, due to its preservation, resembles an opened time capsule. Although it is most famous for being buried and forgotten for approximately 1700 years, in it's heyday, Pompeii was one of the most vibrant cities in the Roman Empire. The ruins of the city have a great deal to offer about the everyday lives of the citizens of the once buried city."
