On August 24, 79 CE, Mount Vesuvius erupts violently, destroying the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Pyroclastic flows incinerate the cities, killing thousands instantly. The cities are buried under ash and pumice. They remain buried for nearly 1,700 years, preserved perfectly. Excavation reveals Roman daily life and culture in unprecedented detail. Vesuvius's eruption creates an archaeological wonder.
Pluto in Sagittarius creates massive destruction of cities through natural catastrophe (volcano, Sagittarius fire element). Sagittarius rules far travel and distant lands. Vesuvius's eruption (Pluto destruction) at the height of Sagittarius season (late August) incinerates Pompeii and Herculaneum. The preserved cities become eternal monuments to Plutonian destruction and transformation.
