Ercolano is of Greek origin :
the legend attributes of
the foundation to Ercole . From the
500 to. C. was under
the influence of Naples and of
Cuma , therefore it passed to the
Sanniti. Subjugated from Rome
it became elegant center of
stay for the patricians. Already
in the 62 d. C . an earthquake
had damaged numerous
buildings; 17 years later,
while it was being still in progress
of his
reconstruction, one
dreadful eruption of the
Vesuvius buried it with a
sea of lava and mud. This last
preserved the structures of it.
Unlike Pompeii, here
wooden structures are preserved
: therefore
how much it has been brought
to the light from long excavations
it dresses again an exceptional interest
to document
uses, customs, habits and
art of the Roman age.
Sculptures, paintigs,
vases and
precious objects are now
in the NationalMuseum of
Naples.
