Butterflies in your stomach? Fireworks during a kiss? It could have been love, but more than likely, you had fallen in lust. Enchanting and intoxicating, lust is easy to find and exciting to feel, with lots of passion but little substance. Love is a much deeper connection to another person, and it doesn't come easy. True love is built on trust, respect, adoration, and hope. Love builds homes and courage, supporting you both through good and bad. Love impassions you to care more and create more, and it encourages you to be more yourself than ever before. Love takes time, tenderness, intention, and inspiration. It is so much more than desire and infatuation, and it is so painful and scarring to lose this love. When you are head-over-heels, it is hard to separate your love from lust. However, your feelings about amorous details easily reveal the truth of your romantic history. From falling in true love over and over to simply having passionate flings throughout time, only your truest loves will stand out in our scrupulous love quiz. Let us guess how many times you have fallen in love! How many times have you truly been in love? Our quiz will help you find out! Which hunky Hollywood star would you rather take a selfie with?

Felix, a slave in Pompeii, is already tired, even though it's only midday. He's been hard at work in the midsummer heat, the clear blue sky offering no shelter from the blazing sun, save for the occasional breeze off the Mediterranean Sea. However, he has a rest period, so he and a few other slaves trudge back to the center of Pompeii along the Via dell'Abbondanza. The rich smell of baking bread fills the air, so he buys some, then purchases dried nuts and fish at a nearby thermopolium, where food comes ready to eat in clay jars. The handful of asses (ancient Roman coins) he uses to pay for his meal comes from the meager wage his master provides, but it's worth it on a day like today. Because it's a day unlike any other, as he'll soon realize. It is Aug. 24, 79 C.E. The earth rumbles beneath his feet, and some of the older people who've lived in Pompeii for nearly 20 years shake their heads.

The mountain has been unquiet before. But never like this. Before long he joins a growing crowd fleeing the city. Ash and shards of hot rock are falling from the sky. Looking back, he can see thick drifts of ash collecting on roofs and filling the streets. Pompeii is dying before his eyes. This is the true story of the Roman city of Pompeii and the people who lived there. It's also the story of the city's sudden destruction, and the eventual rediscovery of ruins that offer an incomparable window into life in the Roman Empire 2,000 years ago.C.E. Pompeii began to grow into a city around 600 B.C.E., settled by the Oscans, an ancient people of Campania. It was home to a mix of cultures from around the Mediterranean, but the Oscan influence remained strong until the day the city was destroyed. The ruins of Pompeii also reveal that the inhabitants revered Greek culture.
The temples, statues, public buildings and decorations in the villas all reflected a high degree of Hellenistic influence. Pompeii was not the most important city in the Roman Empire, or even in the Campania region in southern Italy, but it was a particularly wealthy city. Before its destruction, Pompeii sat on the coast of the Bay of Naples near the mouth of the Sarno River, making it a trade hub for the region. The waters of the Sarno and the volcanic soils deposited by Mount Vesuvius combined to give the area rich farmland - volcanic soils are notably high in nutrients and the river provides a ready source of irrigation. And the limestone, called tufa, used to build the large public buildings and the villas and mansions of Pompeii's richest citizens was likely quarried from the Monti Lattari mountain range just south of the city. Among Pompeii's more impressive buildings were temples to Jupiter, Venus, Augustus and others; an amphitheater that could hold 20,000 people (Pompeii's entire population at its peak); elaborate public baths; public parks and gymnasia; an entire theater district; and a sporting arena.
A riot that broke out during an athletic competition between Pompeii and the rival city Nuceria in 59 C.E. A wide range of housing types existed in Pompeii, from lavish estates to pergulae, small dwellings like apartments that were usually above shops or workshops. The main character in the fictional but realistic intro to this article is accurate, with a few minor exceptions. A slave's name might have been Felix. Slaves did provide the workforce in Pompeii, and while their lives were very hard, many of them were paid and could even save enough money to buy their freedom. However, our protagonist would not have called the street the Via dell'Abbondanza. All the names for places and streets in Pompeii are modern inventions, as virtually none of the original names were recorded. Although educated people at the time would have known it was the year 79 by the Julian calendar, they probably would not have known that Vesuvius had gone through periods of massive volcanic activity dating back tens of thousands of years.
