In 79 A.D., Mount Vesuvius erupted, burying Pompeii under ash in a matter of hours. But how did that fateful day unfold for the people who lived there? #LostTreasuresOfRome is streaming on Disney and Hulu. | National Geographic History

Four victims of the AD 79 eruption of Mount Vesuvius. They were found in the House of the Golden Bracelet in Pompeii, which gets its name from a gold bracelet found on one of the victims (the one lying down with both hands above his face). I will provide a photo of the bracelet in the comments. All four victims were made into casts by pouring plaster into the cavities left after their bodies decomposed, but many bones remain inside and can be seen in this video. | International Man of History
