The question of whether anyone survived the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79 and made it out of Pompeii has been long debated. It can now be answered. In this lecture we trace some of the survivors from Pompeii and Herculaneum, see who made it out, where they resettled, and how they carried on their lives in their new communities.


The Ancient Art Council programs for the exhibition Last Supper in Pompeii are supported by Elizabeth D. Moyer, Ph.D., and Michael C. Powanda, Ph.D.
