It was interesting being in Naples at Pompeii because when I was a Freshman in high school I took Latin for a year and we learned all about Pompeii and the volcanic Mount Vesuvius, and it exploding covering Pompeii in ashes, only to be uncovered now. Along with the baths and triclinium's, and everything else I can't recall at the moment. Walking through a city that was once thriving hundreds of years ago and seeing how our society has evolved is rather amazing. Having an idea of how they lived and went about their daily life compared to ours today is unusual to think about because you can't really say for sure.
