Guess how a TEENAGER was involved in this event? At 17 years old, Pliny the Younger (who grew up to be a lawyer, author, and philosopher), was wathing from across the bay as Mt. Vesuvious erupted in 79 B.C.. He wrote what he saw in a couple of letters to a historian named Tacitus. Pliny the Younger's letters are the ONLY surviving, reliable eyewitness account of the event [moral of the story...learn to write, children ;) ]

The poet Papinius Statius (40- 96 AD) made many references to the ruins caused by Vesuvius in his collection of poems "Silvae". The poet lived in Naples for long time and was possibly there during the eruption, as he got a poetry premium in the town in 78 or 80 AD. Soon after he left and lived in Rome until 92. On that date he had to write a poem (Silvae III, 5) "Ad Claudiam Uxorem" to convince his wife to come back to Naples (Paratore, 1992).
