During our two-hour tour of Herculaneum, we aim to breathe life back into this ancient city, discussing its historical culture, family roles, religious practices with the accompanying temples, folklore, beliefs, funerary customs, and typical Roman residential design. Known to have been established in the 4th century BC, Herculaneum is believed to be a creation of the heroic figure, Hercules. This once lavish Roman getaway met a tragic end in the same volcanic catastrophe that claimed Pompeii in 79 AD. Unskippable, this journey vastly differs from Pompeii since Herculaneum was engulfed by a rush of mud rather than ash and lava, which effectively shielded the remains against weathering and illicit digging. Your two-hour exploration of Herculaneum on foot will shine a light on immaculately preserved wooden components, food remains, fabrics, and architectural designs, giving an insightful and intimate peek into everyday Roman living during bygone days.
